Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
Students who complete the course successfully will be able by the end of the course to demonstrate in written examination and course work (including weekly quizzes, tutorial exercises and an assignment):
-a good understanding of the essentials of Latin grammar and syntax
-basic skills in tranlslating and understanding Latin literary texts
-a sense of the common Latin roots of the Romance languages
-the ability to apply these skills to deepen their understanding of the Ancient World. |
Assessment Information
| Class work (30%), assignment (10%), degree exam paper (60%) |
Special Arrangements
| Students taking this class for honours credit will be required to produce an assignment which conforms to Honours class standards, in addition to all other work for the class, TBA with the course organiser. This assignment uses their developing linguistic knowledge to deepen their understanding of their main degree subject, whether that is Classical Literature, Ancient History or Classical Archaeology. The assignment will thus be one that combines language skills with the other skills acquired during the degree, the one reinforcing and developing the other. |
