The first independent reading will be based on the Les Belles Lettres edition of Diodorus of Sicily, Library of History, XIV, 1-6 and 19-33 (vol. IX, ed. Eric R. Bennett and Martine Bonnet, CUF, 1997). For the second independent reading, we will once again use the Paris edition: Hesiod, Works and Days, vv. 1-292 (ed. Paul Mazon, CUF, 1928).
Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
written exam AND oral exam
- Remote
oral exam
Further information:
Tests during the year, written and oral examination in January and at the end of the academic year, with independent reading.
January : written exam of accentuation and morphology (50 %) and oral exam on the first independent reading (50 %).
June : prose composition (40 %), translation from Greek into French (40 %), and oral exam on the second independent reading (20 %). This oral exam will take place before the session.
Please note that if you retake the partial examination in June and/or August, the proportional weighting of the different components of the examination will be adjusted: the prose composition and the translation from Greek into French will each be worth 30 % instead of 40 %, while each of the two independent readings will account for 20 % of the overall mark.
The mark of the midterm exam in January will count for 35% of the June final mark if > or = 10/20. The mark will have no effect on the final grade if it doesn't reach 10/20 and the final exam will then be cumulative (without however the first independent reading if > or = 10/20).
