Office hours: M, W: 12.30-4.00; T, Th: 2.30-4.00 in Furman 327 (tel.: 3-4134) Required texts: Balme & Morwood, Oxford Latin Course: Part I (2nd ed.: 1997). Balme & Morwood, Oxford Latin Course: Part II (2nd ed.:1997) Objectives: Basic introduction to the morphology and syntax of the Latin language, to be consolidated by extensive oral practice. Even after 2,000 years we still have a pretty good idea of how the Romans actually spoke to one another; while we learn to replicate the ancient communicative practices, we will also emphasize the development of English and modern Romance languages. The course has been designed for those with no previous experience; those with at least a year of Latin should consider enrollment in Lat100 (Intensive Latin) as a "refresher." We will be covering roughly one chapter every two lessons, aiming to finish two thirds of the second part (yellow book) by the end of the semester. For the first day of each chapter: 1) Skim twice the assigned continuous reading passage, the first time, to see how the sentences are grammatically constructed, the second, to get the gist of their content. 2) Preview the corresponding grammatical lesson at pp. 108ff. 3) Write out your answers to the assigned exercises. For the second day: 1) Memorize the vocab on the next page (in the grey box). 2) Complete and reread the assigned continuous reading passage. 3) Answer in Latin the questions at the end of the reading. 4) Write out your answers to the assigned exercises. Lesson format: Each lesson will begin after you have all handed in the homework assigned the previous lesson; you may write it out by hand if you wish, but illegible submissions will be graded as incorrect. We will usually begin with some drills on the grammatical material from the previous lesson (unless it's time for the Friday quiz!), and we will then move on to the new grammar to be covered. A Latin reading will normally be followed by some Q & A (usually in Latin) on the plot. Feel free to skim the chapter's cultural context at the end, but this is covered by Clas 146 (Roman Civilization), and it will generally not factor in this course's requirements. Grading/Exams: Participation (both existential and vocal, including homework): 10 % Eight weekly quizzes (10 min., 2.5% each): 20 % Four review exams (50 min, 10% each): 44 % Cumulative Final exam, on Monday, Dec. 17, 9 a.m.: 26 % [An alternate final will be offered on Thursday, Dec. 20, 12.00] -Make-up quizzes and exams may be allowed in appropriate circumstances and if you notify me beforehand; they should be arranged before the following class session. -Grading scale: Points are scored out of a total of 100: the top ten constitute the "A" range, the next ten the "B" range, and so forth. The letter is accompanied by "+" or "-" if your score falls within the top or bottom 3 points of each range. Thus, e.g., 87-89= B+ ; 83-86 = B ; 80-82 = B- . -These policies and requirements are final: no extra credit will be offered. Some final Deep Thoughts: Throughout this Latin course we will be considering linguistic structure and function, as well as practical applications of complex series of memorized word endings. Latin is not an easy language to master, especially with few friends to practice it on, but it is more logical and less ambiguous than English. Once you can wrap your mind around the basic differences from English grammar early on, you will (Jupiter willing!) come to appreciate Latin nuances and subtleties. In class we will provide some rudimentary speaking practice, but you will still have to undergo a greater degree of sheer memorization than in modern language courses. You will probably spend about a half hour on assigned homework, and another half learning new grammar and vocabulary. A tried and tested approach involves three simple (!) steps: 1) Make your own Flash cards (Latin on front, English on back), charts, and running lists of nouns by declension (with a separate section for neuters), and verbs by conjugation. 2) Speak to yourself aloud, and learn to revel in the strange stares from your neighbors; it's often easier to recall what you hear than what you read, even when you're hearing it from yourself. After all, the language was meant to be primarily spoken. 3) Ask me! Often the initial confusion over an arduous new concept or a daunting sentence to translate will turn out to stem from one single, simple, and easily explainable clue. Rather than beat your head against a wall for hours or set fire to your guiltless Balme & Morwood, give me a call, write me an e-mail, or come to my office hours if it just won't click.
