This class will be
challenging, but also, I hope, rewarding and enjoyable. The main purpose
of this course is to complete chapters 21-40 of Wheelock's Grammar.
Most classes will involve discussion of the Latin grammar and syntax found
in the text’s exercises, prepared by the class in advance, followed by
an introduction to new material. A part of each class will also be devoted
to translation of the stories in the Groton-May reader. DO NOT SUFFER IN
SILENCE, as learning Latin at this ambitious pace can be like trying to
drink from a fire hose! If you are having difficulties, contact me at once.
I will normally be available from 9:00 to 9:30 (before class) in my office
in Dauer 142. I can also be reached at jrea@classics.ufl.edu
or
392-2075.

Course
Policies:
1.It
should be obvious that you cannot make an effective contribution to class,
nor can you expect to receive a passing grade in this class, if you do
not attend on a regular basis. Expect your grade to be lowered one
full letter grade for every absence after the first three missed days of
class.
2.If
you know you will need to be absent for the exam or midterm, you must contact
me WITHIN 24 HOURS of missing class, and arrangements can be made for a
make-up. You will be excused only in exceptional cases and only if you
provide documentation.
3.Frequent
tardiness will directly affect your participation grade. Cell phones
must be turned off during class unless you have an emergency and you clear
it with me beforeclass.
ADA
Requirements:
If you have any disability or special
concern, it is your responsibility to notify me at the start of the semester
so that your needs may be accommodated. You will also need to give me a
letter from the Office for Students with Disabilities (P202 Peabody Hall)
indicating that you need academic accommodations.
Honor
Code:
The following pledge is either required
or implied on all work submitted for credit by University of Florida students:
"On my honor, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid in doing
this assignment." For a full statement of UF's Academic Honor Code see
either the Undergraduate Catalog or the web
site.
