COURSE GOAL: By the end of Greek 116, you should be able to read New Testament Greek (with a dictionary, of course) on your own, fairly comfortably, with occasional questions or difficulties. Those students taking Greek for classical texts will be ready to move on to 300-level Greek courses in classical authors; they probably could not yet read classical texts without assistance.
