Latin 4
Spring 2009
There will be four quizzes on grammar. Quiz #1 will cover material from the first two weeks of class. Quizzes #2-4 will be designed to react to needs / weaknesses revealed during the course of the semester.
There will be four examinations, including the final. Each exam will cover work from the unit immediately preceding the exam, and will consist of:
1. seen and sight passages for translation, with grammar;
2. Roman culture identifications.
3. scansion (beginning with exam #2)
Regular preparation, class participation, and attendance are expected, and will affect your grade. Foreign language study is such that certain aspects of one's performance cannot be judged by examinations, but rather by class performance. Therefore, 20% of your final grade will be based upon daily class participation; effective class participation assumes preparation of daily assignments before class.
