Latin Courses (Fall 2006)


LATIN (LATN) COURSES are conducted in English but use the Latin language extensively. All courses except LATN 395 carry three (3) credit hours.

LATN 101 - Elementary Latin I
Staff
M.W.F. 2:00-2:50
This is the first half of a two-semester introduction to Latin, with primary emphasis on grammar, syntax, and vocabulary.
     (Note: Both LATN 101 and LATN 102 must be completed to obtain credit.)

LATN 201 - Latin Prose Authors
Staff
T.R. 10:00-11:15
Reading of selected works of Latin prose, mostly Cicero. This is an intermediate-level course which will consolidate and complete students’ knowledge of Latin grammar and strengthen their translation skills. Some attention will also be paid to literary analysis and socio-historic background.
     (Prerequisite: LATN 102 or equivalent.)

LATN 305 - Literature of the Republic
Martin Helzle
T.R. 1:15-2:30
A reading course in prose and poetry of the Roman Republic. Extensive selections from Cicero and Catullus, and one comedy of Terence.
     (Prerequisite: LATN 202 or equivalent.)

LATN 382 - Senior Seminar
Staff
(Times as arranged)
To introduce graduating seniors to ancillary disciplines for the study of Latin literature and history. These include but are not limited to palaeography, epigraphy, numismatics, and textual criticism. A major component of the course will inevitably be unseen translation since ancient sources do not only have to be deciphered but also understood.
     (Prerequisite: any 300-level LATN course. Cross-listed as GREK 381.)

LATN 395 - Directed Readings (1-3 hrs)
Staff (Times as Arranged)
Directed readings in authors selected to serve the individual interests and needs of undergraduate students.
    (Prerequisite: consent of instructor.)
