This is an intermediate level Akkadian language class where students are required to read a selection of Akkadian texts in their original cuneiform. Coursework will build upon what has already been learned in introductory classes, and students are expected to show increased proficiency in reading the cuneiform script, articulating grammatical matters, and negotiating important reference works and dictionaries. Texts and readings vary by semester and can be adjusted to meet the learning outcomes of the student.
