LS 1423 Elementary Latin II

Three hours (On Campus)

A foundational study of Latin vocabulary and grammar for the purpose of developing reading skills. These elementary courses focus on parsing of syntax and inductive immersion with readings that range from well-known passages by Cicero, Caesar, Catullus, Virgil, and others in the classical canon to a few Vulgate scriptures, as well as classical poems and myths. Since this is a “language studies” course, you will be required to pronounce Latin out loud in class. The assignments include daily homework consisting of Latin-to-English translations. There will also be a few short recitations in Latin, a midterm exam, and a final exam.

Prerequisite: LS 1413
Offered on campus Spring semester (odd-numbered years)
