Latin 316A

Date and location of Final Examination:

Wednesday, May 7, noon - 3 p.m.

JAC 105

Please note that the Final must be taken at the time and place announced in Centenary's Class Schedule. It is college policy that no exceptions may be made to this rule. 

Some of the work for this course will involve using computer resources. Therefore, it is essential that all students acquire an e-mail/computer account from the college and have access to the internet.

Students should understand the importance of daily preparation and of consistent attendance. No late homeworks will be accepted, and no make-up quizzes/exams will be given except in the case of college-wide excused events or documented illness or emergency. Students must make arrangements with me to take make-up quizzes or exams within a week of missing any of these.

• COME TO CLASS and do the assignments on time and diligently. Remember that learning a language is a cumulative process that requires regular application. Cultivating procedures of close reading of literature in general and perhaps of poetry in particular requires steady practice.
• Use what you learn in class about analytical and critical methods so that you can apply these to subsequent assignments.
• Be serious about Web resources throughout the course. Technology's capacity for simultaneous presentation of different types of resources promotes effective learning in Latin. Also, its capacity to create a sense of immediacy and intimate contact with the classical world reinforces interest and personal investment in learning. Therefore, technological resouces will be important tools in our study of the Latin language and of Roman Antiquity.
• The wiki for our course is a particularly strong and flexible place where inquiry and commentary may be shared and responded to on a 24-hour-a-day basis. It will also serve as an index of the class's progress in reading and understanding Latin poetry.

With the understanding that regular class attendance is crucial for good progress in Latin, students may miss six classes for any reason whatsover (illness, emergency, insufficient sleep, excused college event, etc.). A seventh absence will result in a failing grade for the course.

Students must be aware that if they come to class after attendance has been taken, it is their responsibility to speak to the professor at the end of class to ensure that a tardy mark is recorded rather than an absence. Otherwise, the absence will stand.
