Outline and Purpose of the Course	The objective of this class is to enhance students’ ability to read Arabic through reading a variety of texts. Students will be given as many helpful hints as possible for reading and translating Arabic texts.
Course Goals	Students are expected to be able to understand grammatically original texts from the primary Arabic sources and translate them correctly.
Schedule and Contents	The texts to be read in class will be determined in consultation with the students. To the greatest extent possible, we want to use texts that students need for their research. As a rule, we will read each text for three or four class sessions. During each class, students will read aloud the portions that they are responsible for and present a proposed translation.
Evaluation Methods and Policy	Evaluation will be made based on attendance and performance during class.
Course Requirements	Students should have studied basic Arabic grammar.
Study outside of Class (preparation and review)	Preparation for class sessions is essential.
