Class Notes:
http://classinfo.umn.edu/?LAT5003+Fall2019 This course is completely online in a synchronous format. The course will meet online at the scheduled times.
Class Description:

The aim of Latin 3003 is twofold: first, to reinforce and extend the basic skills which you developed in beginning Latin and, second, to introduce you to some of the major prose writers of ancient Rome. In the first half of the semester, we will be reading selections from the second book of De bello Gallico, Caesar's account of his campaigns in Gaul (modern France and Belgium) in the 50's BCE; in the second half we will read the entirety of Cicero's Oratio in Catilinam I, a speech delivered before the Senate in 63 BCE, in which Cicero denounced L. Sergius Catilina, a disgruntled aristocrat who was plotting to overthrow the Roman state.

Most of our class time will be spent translating and discussing the texts we're reading. As noted above, you will be reinforcing and extending the skills you developed in beginning Latin, but instead of the readings reinforcing the grammar, as in first year Latin, the readings will take center stage; accordingly, most grammar and vocabulary work will be done outside of class. We will continue to encounter new forms and constructions, but much less class time will be devoted to them.

Who Should Take This Class?:
Students who have completed Latin 1002 or Latin 5001 with a grade of C- (S) or better. Students who have taken Latin before but not at the University of Minnesota should contact Dr. Stephen Smith (smith504@umn.edu) to determine whether this is the appropriate course for them.
Learning Objectives:
Students completing Latin 5003 should have a good working knowledge of the grammar and basic vocabulary of literary Latin prose of the 1st century BCE, as exemplified by the war commentaries of Caesar and the political speeches of Cicero. With appropriate help with regard to vocabulary, morphology, syntax, and literary or cultural context, students can read, understand, and communicate their understanding of a representative passage (25-30 lines) of such texts in 60-90 minutes; they can communicate their understanding by translating, answering comprehension questions, or writing a brief commentary on lexical, morphological, syntactic, cultural, or basic literary features of the passage. Most class time is spent on reading, translating, and doing grammatical analysis of brief selections (15-25 lines) of a given text. Students are also quizzed frequently on relevant vocabulary, forms, and constructions; weekly English to Latin translation exercises focus on particular points of Latin syntax. Two midterms and a final exam consist of brief narrative passages (about 250 words of authentic prose on the final) to be translated into English, with some analysis of individual forms.
Exam Format:
translation; basic grammatical analysis
Workload:
15-25 lines of Latin per class (rising as students improve); weekly quizzes; English to Latin translation (simple sentences); 3 exams
