Spring 2011 projects
School: GPA >= 3.75 - Check out UNC's CS, math, philosophy programs
- Get advice on what to major in and how to get involved in research work
- GRK: Learn Attic Greek well enough to read simple texts
Suggestion: NT Greek. It's koine, a simpler (and later) dialect that you already have a good deal of grammar for. Best book to start with is Mark. You might also consider (and I would be more than happy to read with you, as I have a Greek/Italian pony of it) Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, a similarly late text. --SteveKillen
