Crosby and Schaeffer Answer Key?
Is there any such thing as an answer key for Crosby and Schaeffer's An Introduction to Greek, anywhere out there, online or off
'Greek had to be simplified, and Latin had to be replaced with Italian, because we barbarians stole so many Greek and Latin words.'

Re: Crosby and Schaeffer Answer Key?
I'm pretty certain that no answer key for C&S exists anywhere, in any form. It might be worth writing to the book's current publishers, Bolchazy & Carducci, to inquire further, however: http://www.bolchazy.com
There is a C&S Yahoo! Group whose coordinator has posted some answers (you'll need to join the group, of course, to see anything): http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Crosby/
Finally, I worked my way through the first 15 or so chapters 7 years ago and am giving it another go. I'd be happy to compare answers with you, if you like.

Re: Crosby and Schaeffer Answer Key?
Hi Jefferson -- I found some resources after a Google search. Right now, however, I don't have privileges to post links in this forum so if you're inclined, please email me at gabbyhon {at} gmail.com
I'm also going through C&S on my own after a 7-year hiatus. I have previous answers up to Unit 15 that I'd be happy to type up for you, as well.

Re: Crosby and Schaeffer Answer Key?
Thank you gabbyhon. I also have had a seven year hiatus from Crosby and Schaeffer. I intend to start back in two in three months when I finish refreshing my Latin.
I think Crosby and Schaeffer would be the perfect introductory Greek book for autodidacts who have had some Latin, if it had an answer key.

Re: Crosby and Schaeffer Answer Key?
Also, thank you for offering to type up your answers, but I dont think there's any need for you to go to the trouble. From what I can tell, they intend to post answers in the Yahoo group.

Re: Crosby and Schaeffer Answer Key?
I can really recommend the 'Yahoo' Crosby group. We're up to Chapter 24 now and still going strong. Excellent coordinator. Low attrition rate.
And our 'Answer Key' is growing naturally week by week.
At the very least, I recommend downloading the 'Unicorn' click-dictionary from this site:
http://www.quasillum.com/greek/greek-activities.php
It's a kind of Whitaker's Words for Greek - but even better in some respects. Absolutely invaluable tool.
Cheers,
Int

Re: Crosby and Schaeffer Answer Key?
Thank you, Interaxus. I'm joining the group. It's the perfect way to study Crosby & Schaeffer.

Re: Crosby and Schaeffer Answer Key?
Actually, there was an original key (actually, Teacher's manual) to Crosby and Schaeffer. It can be downloaded from here:
http://cid-fee40656660aa288.skydrive.li ... 0AA288!104
It does not include answers to the Greek-to-English exercises. But the rest is there.

Crosby and Schaeffer answer key
I took Greek back at UNC and kept all the correct answers in the book....somewhere. I can probably find the notebook that they are in. It was good to see that there is a site that gives the correct Greek translation for the English.
I also would like to join the yahoo group in going through this book and comparing answers, and ultimately creating an answer key for all. However, I will be starting from lesson 1 and I am sure if everyone else is pretty far along. Will there be a new class starting, and/or, can the people who have already gone all the way or part of the way through the book share their efforts? It would be appreciated.

Re: Crosby and Schaeffer Answer Key?
I've also put it up on the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/CrosbyTeachersManual
It's not an answer key at all -- it's a teacher's manual, containing a great deal of useful advice for how to present the course to students, but nothing at all, I think, that would be useful for any student attempting to rob themselves of an education by avoiding the doing of the work themselves.

“One might get one’s Greek from the very lips of Homer and Plato." "In which case they would certainly plough you for the Little-go. The German scholars have improved Greek so much.”

I beg to differ. ALL the answers requiring Greek are contained in the manual, starting with:
§7 (c), manual page 15.
§12(b), manual page 17.
§18(c), manual page 17.
And so on up to:
§504(b), manual page 59.
It's just a question of locating the right paragraph number in the manual that matches the exercise number in the textbook.
Can't understand why you presume language learners you know nothing about are necessarily work shy. Your attitude seems to reflect that of those old Greek teachers from the days when Greek was still on the curriculum.
However, your kindness in uploading the Crosby key to Internet Archive seems to prove you are a sheep in wolf's clothing.
Answer keys can provide invaluable help for self-learners.
