| Course description |
This course is intended to enable those who have taken Latin 1Ha and 1Hb to advance their knowledge of the language, and also so that those who have taken Latin 1a and 1b in their second year are not prevented from studying the language at Honours level. The course will include reading and language classes and linguistically based tutorials on subjects including prose composition; students will have further tutorials relating to the subjects of their terminal essays. |
