A Proposal to Create 2 New Courses in the Classics Department


Add to UNCA Catalog: 1986-7 pg. 80:

Classics 105  Hebrew for General Education I (3)

Introduction to Hebrew Language, literature, and culture. Intended
specifically for the satisfaction of the General Education Foreign
Language Requirement.  This course is a practical introduction to
the reading and understanding of Hebrew, including writing and
pronunciation and the minimum of grammatical work consistent with
the understanding of Hebrew literature.  Includes basic information
on Hebrew and Jewish culture as revealed through its classical
literature. 


Classics 106  Hebrew for General Education II (3)

Continues the work of Classics 105.  Mastery of more vocabulary and 
grammatical points to enable understanding of more, and more complex 
material in the literature and culture.



Rationale:

Previously approved by the APC, Hebrew was not listed in the catalog 
for lack of faculty to teach it.  Now, two local rabbis with 
college teaching experience have offered to teach the courses on a 
regular basis.  There is adequate demand by pre-seminarians in this 
and neighboring schools.



Effective date:  Spring, 1987.
