Course Objectives:
- Students will learn the Greek alphabet and its pronunciation
- Students will learn how to use the computer to type the Greek alphabet
- Students will learn to confidently recognize basic Greek vocabulary
- Students will gain familiarity with the Greek morphology and syntax covered in chaps. 1-18 of Decker (and part of chap. 32)
