QUIZ on Chapter 20

W Feb. 21

FIRST HOUR EXAM

Greek is of course cumulative, so the exam as always involves a general review. But for this exam the paradigms to regurgitate, and all seen reading passages, will come from chapters 17-20 of book II (i.e. they will NOT come from Chapter 16 of Book I). Principal parts, however, are also cumulative, no way around that. Practice using handout 1 for 1st semester verbs; and handout 2 (less πείθω) for the ones from this semester.
