CLLA 101(F)-102(S) Introduction to Latin
This is a full-year course on the fundamentals of the Latin language. The first
semester and part of the second emphasize learning basic grammar; the rest of
the second semester is devoted to reading selections from Latin poetry (e.g., Vergil's Aeneid and some Medieval Latin poetry, e.g., the Carmina Burana) and
from Latin prose (e.g., Pliny's Letters and/or the Vulgate Bible). This course is
designed for the student with no previous preparation in Latin or who has had
only a little Latin and wishes a refresher. Credit is granted for the first semester
only if the second semester is taken as well. Students with some previous experience in Latin may want to enroll in CLLA 102 only: consult the department.
Format: recitation/discussion. Evaluation will be based on frequent quizzes,
tests, classroom exercises, and a final exam.
Enrollment limit: 18 (expected: 10-12).
