files

This directory contains all files relating to the bi-weekly assignments -- each filename begins with the due date of the assignment. Files for each assignment are spread out among the following subdirectories:

• plain_text: plain text files (OCR-ed from Benner's text and manually corrected),
• bridge_vocab_lists: a vocabulary list (courtesy of The Bridge),
• benner_notes: Benner's notes on the lines in question (courtesy of Perseus),
• steadman: for the selections from Books 6 and 22, the appropriate pages from Steadman's commentary, with vocab and notes on the same page as the text, and
• texts: the PDFs for Benner and Steadman.

projector.txt

This file displays the text that is to be projected onto the blackboard/whiteboard.

This script cleans up the Benner snippets in files/plain_text in anticipation of projecting the text onto the blackboard/whiteboard. You can use the following code in your terminal to load the text for the class in question.
