Course
Objectives: This course is designed to equip the students
with the elements of the structure of ancient Latin and with a knowledge of its
basic Required Vocabulary in preparation for reading texts in the original language.
Students who successfully complete this course will be able to:
- Pronounce ancient Latin correctly and
read simple sentences aloud with expression.
- Demonstrate knowledge of basic
Latin Required Vocabulary, grammar, morphology, and syntax.
- Read and translate simple sentences,
narratives, and dialogues in annotated Latin texts.
Class Participation and Attendance
is essential to success in this class. Latin 102 is an
interactive
course, and your success depends upon your effort. You must be in class every
day, on time, prepared (e.g., you MUST do your homework BEFORE class), and you
must ready to work. I reserve the right to collect assigned homework and give
pop quizzes.
You are allowed two unexcused
absences. Any absences beyond this (including excessively late arrivals to class
= 10 minutes late) will be penalized. For each unexcused absence, one point will
be deducted from your final (total) class average.
You are also allowed two class days
for which you are unprepared (let me know at the beginning of class if you wish
to cash in one of your allowed "unprepared" days), but you will not be allowed
to make up a quiz that might be given on that day. Any days beyond this for
which you are unprepared will be penalized. For each unexcused "unprepared" day,
one/half point will be deducted from your final (total) class average.
Excused Absences
include unavoidable conflicts, such as extended
illnesses and family emergencies (but not regularly scheduled physician/dentist
appointments for routine matters). Keep in touch with me as you are able. Within
48 hours of your return to school, you must provide in hard-copy (not e-mail) a
written
signed statement citing an acceptable reason for the absence.
Requests for excused absences should conclude with the phrase: “I understand
that this statement is made under the strictures of the William and Mary Honor
Code” and should be signed by the student asking for an excused absence. Makeup
final exams will only be scheduled with the permission of the instructor and the
Office of the Dean of Students.
Quizzes and homeworks are worth
100 points of your final grade. Since the two lowest quiz grade will be
dropped, no quiz may be taken early, late, or made up for any reason. Quizzes
will be both announced and un-. It is highly unlikely that the webpage will be
updated to reflect upcoming announced quizzes -- so, come to class. Homework
must be completed before each class meeting, and "turn-in" homework is due
at the beginning of class.
Make-up Policy:
No
make-up work will be allowed for any reason. No e-mail submissions will be
accepted. Two quizzes will be dropped from your final quiz average.
Class Room
Policies: Regular attendance is expected.
Additional readings and changes to the
syllabus may be announced in class.

Hark upon the Gale: Remember the Honor Code
