LAT 102	Latin II	MoTuWeTh	9:30-10:25	van der Meer	IN PERSON		Latin 102 is the continuation of Latin 101. If you have not done LAT 101 but have acquired suffi-cient knowledge of Latin through other trajectories (e.g. Latin in high school), please contact the instructor. Why should you consider taking Latin? The Latin language will open your eyes to elements of world culture and history, social, philosophical, and artistic understanding, and the roots of language itself, including your own native language, whatever that may be. English owes some 40- 50% of its vocabulary directly to Latin roots and French, a Romance language, and if you add the Greek learning that many Romans adopted, another 10% of English vocabu-lary can be better understood. Through study of grammar, and readings that teach Roman cul-ture, we will learn a great deal about an influential foreign culture, and ultimately about world culture and American heritage. With the completion of this course, you can expect to know the most important elements of the Latin Language, have some ease at translating the classical au-thor Caesar and have deepened your knowledge of Roman life and culture at the beginning of our era. This course counts towards the Majors and Minors in Classics and Classical Civilization and the Minor in Medieval and Renaissance Studies.
