show description
This course is the second half of a two-semester introduction to the basic forms, syntax, and vocabulary of Latin. Translating passages from ancient writers also introduces students to fundamental features of Roman culture. Students who successfully complete this course will be able to reproduce paradigms of all Latin noun, adjective, adverb, and verb forms; to parse and explain the function of Latin words in context; to demonstrate fluency in basic Latin syntax and a growing vocabulary; to master standard pronunciation of Latin; and to translate accurately from Latin into English. In the latter part of the semester, students read selections from the writings of Julius Caesar in the original Latin.
Class time will be devoted to the introduction of new material, reviewing assigned homework, and practice exercises. Students should expect daily homework assignments and regular quizzes, both announced and unannounced. Final grades will be determined by attendance and class participation; quizzes; three midterm exams; and a comprehensive final exam.
Latin 507 partially fulfills the foreign language requirement. A grade of C or higher is required to advance to Latin 311.
The completion of Latin 506 with a grade of C or higher is a prerequisite for Latin 507. Students who have recently had more than two years of high school Latin, or more than two semesters of college Latin should normally take Latin 311.
