Beginning Latin
(This subject is not available to candidates with a qualification in Latin above GCSE-level or equivalent.)
The course will allow takers to read simple, if probably adapted, prose texts. Candidates will be required to show knowledge of some of the main grammatical structures of Latin and of a small basic vocabulary. The paper will consist of prepared and unprepared prose translations, with grammatical questions on the prepared texts.
Course book: John Taylor, Essential GCSE Latin (Bristol Classical Press, 2006), in addition to extra material supplied in classes.
This course will be taught by Faculty classes, for three hours per week during Michaelmas and Hilary Terms.
Not all courses and papers are available in every year. The authoritative information about courses and papers can be found in the University's Examination Decrees and Regulations, published with changes each October; the version published in the October a student begins a course will be authoritative for the examinations which that student takes at the end of the course.
