We will complete the final third of Wheelock's Latin Grammar and proceed from there to read selections from Catullus and Caesar's Gallic War. Other Latin writers in reader.
 

Your grade will be based on the following factors:

Average of weekly quizzes  44%
First midterm test  12%
 Second midterm test  12%
 Final Exam    16%
 Homework    16%

The 12 (or so) weekly quizzes will be given every Friday (except during the weeks of the midterms), and will take between 15 and 30 minutes to complete. They will cover the new grammar and vocabulary presented that week, but will also test your cumulative knowledge and may also include reading passages.  The lowest 2, including any quizzes missed or not taken, will be dropped. These quizzes may not be rescheduled or made up.

The Midterms will be 50 Minute tests. They will be given at about the days marking the ends of the first and second thirds of the semester. The final will be given during exam period.

Homework each night will consist of some written assignment and some preparation or specific study. The assigned homework is the minimum amount you should be studying outside of class; in order to do well in this and future Latin classes, you will need to do a lot of memorization, practice and review on your own.  Your homework grade will be determined each day by either collecting the written assignment or by a brief (5 minute) quiz on the assigned preparation or study.  Your Homework will be graded on a scale of 1-10.

Attendance is mandatory. You may miss one week without penalty. For each subsequent week of missed classes, your grade will be lowered by one grade point. In addition to your physical presence in the class, attendance entails preparation and possession of requisite artifacts: texts and homework. Students displaying excellent attendance, preparation and participation will receive further consideration during the calculation of their final grade.
