Students learn significant differences between Latin and English. Attendance is required. In grammar, students finish the noun system and learn several Latin tenses, including the perfect tense. Latin questions, oral and written, remain an important part of the course, as do the readings. There are class discussions and a paper on readings in English from Sophocles, Tacitus, and Cicero.
Attendance is required.
Oral and written questions continue. Ovid's Metamorphoses is the topic for class discussion and a paper. Liberal Studies credit is given. A given topic may be offered under any special topic identity no more than three times. Special topics numbered 281 are offered primarily for lower- level undergraduate students.
