| LATIN 1B | FUNDAMENTALS | STAFF | This is the second quarter of first-year Latin. We will continue to cover Shelmerdine's Introduction to Latin, textbook. Instruction and practice in grammar and vocabulary will alternate with the reading of Latin passages. Daily homework, weekly quiz, midterm exam, and a final examination. Prerequisite: Latin 1A, equivalent, or permission of instructor. This course may be used to satisfy the breadth requirement in language (VI) as well as the School of Humanities foreign language requirement. |
| LATIN 103 | CICERO | STAFF | The year 63 BCE was the year during which Catiline and his followers conspired against the Roman state and even plotted to kill the consul Cicero. Cicero, however, discovered the plans before they could be carried out. In this class, we will read Cicero's account of these events in his First Catilinarian Oration. If time permits, we will read parts of second oration as well. Focus will be on accurate translation, understanding of syntax, and vocabulary building. Midterm, final examination and quizzes. |
