Limit: 5 students

Students must have taken LATIN 102 previously.

Students may enroll in LATIN 103, Section D, E, or F to receive Honors credit.

This course is designed to offer Honors students a chance to deepen and complicate their study of Latin. We will meet for one hour per week to discuss additional readings and develop critical perspectives on materials studied in the class.

Depending on student interests and goals, there may also be a project component of the class. My goal is to help you connnect the fascinating world of Latin literature and Roman culture and history with issues and ideas that you find important and compelling. We can explore issues connected to the history of Latin as a language, the interpretation of major texts, and historical periods and trends, and the history and socio-economic context of the teaching of Latin.

Your grade for this course will be 90% based on your grade for the work assigned in Latin 103 and 10% based on your grade for work done with me. That 10% will be based on participation for and preparation in our weekly discussion sessions, and completion of a final project: a 2 page reflection.
