- TL;DR
- Interesting subject with relatively easy assessment and minimal contact hours. It is possible to achieve high 90s, and the take home exam done in week 12, definitely reduces workload come exam time. <br>
- Assessment
-
10 x assessment exercises (50%), take home exam (50%).
- Comments
-
An absolutely brilliant subject. The subject is taught in a very structured and well thought-out way, the lecturer is knowledgeable and the assessments are very fair. This is probably my favourite subject to date.

- Textbook Recommendation
-
- James P. Allen. Middle Egyptian: An Introduction to the Language and Culture of Hieroglyphs. Definitely buy this textbook; all of your assignments (worth 50%) will mimic the exercises given in relevant chapters. The book also contains answers to all of these exercises.
- Raymond O. Faulkner. A Concise Dictionary of Middle Egyptian is also suggested, but it's not really needed; the lecturer sent us a scanned copy of it anyway. - Workload
-
1 x 1 hour lecture and 2 x 1.5 hour tutorials a week. (Tutorials will be scheduled on the same day.)
- Year & Semester Of Completion
-
Semester 1, 2015.
