Number	Title	Instructor	Time
LATN 101-01 Elementary Latin I Justin Dwyer MWF 11:50AM - 12:40PM
Come learn the language of Vergil, Cicero, and St. Augustine. Latin has been the western world's learned language for 2000 years and is the source for most of the scholarly and technical vocabulary of English. The elementary Latin sequence (LAT 101, LAT 102, LAT 103) is designed to get you reading authentic materials quickly. For LAT 101, no Latin background is required or assumed. Location (MWF 11:50AM - 12:40PM)
LATN 103-01 Review Latin Alexander Cushing TR 9:40AM - 10:55AM
This course will transition students from the study of grammar to reading lengthy prose passages in classical Latin. It will focus on authors from the end of the Roman Republic and will include grammar review and the historical context in which the texts were composed. Location (TR 9:40AM - 10:55AM)
LATN 227-01 Petronius Alexander Cushing 7:00PM - 7:00PM
Petronius’ Satyrica is a Latin prose work that presents everyday Roman life with vivid colloquialisms and irreverent humour through the story of a wayward young Roman named Encolpius, out to have a good time with his buddies. The main focus of this course will be the Cena Trimalchionis, a section of the Satyrica in which Encolpius attends a lavish banquet at the house of the wealthy formerly enslaved Trimalchio. By reading and translating this satirical narrative, our class will explore the unusual, genre-bending literary qualities of Petronius’ work and will consider its implications for our understanding of Roman slavery and social history more broadly. A mutually agreeable meeting time will be determined in consultation with students who enroll in this course. Location ( 7:00PM - 7:00PM)
LATN 391-01 Independent Study Alexander Cushing 7:00PM - 7:00PM
This course provides undergraduate students the opportunity to pursue in-depth, independent exploration of a topic not regularly offered in the curriculum, under the supervision of a faculty member in the form of independent study, practicum, internship or research. The objectives and content are determined in consultation between students and full-time members of the teaching faculty. Responsibilities and expectations vary by course and department. Location ( 7:00PM - 7:00PM)
