GREEK AND LATIN LANGUAGE REVIEW SESSIONS

All faculty teaching LAT or GRK 51 or higher should have all their students sign up for one of the sessions. The times are up on the seminar room schedule and are as follows:

LATIN: Katie 5-6 PM Monday; Sean 5-6PM Wed, James 2:50-3:40 PM Tuesday

GREEK: Katie 1:10-2 PM Wed, Sean 1:15-2:05 PM Thurs, James 5-6 PM Wed.

To sign up, just make a list of who wants to go when and give it to me (Jacques) or one of the graduate students.

The basic idea is to have students do drills on the fundamentals of morphology and syntax for fluency and accuracy and speed.

Graduate students will take attendance and report that to faculty.

We’re using Wheelock’s appendix for Latin Morphology, because we think more students will have learned from Wheelock. I took Moreland and Fleischer’s Syntax, however, because Wheelock has no syntax appendix.

For Greek, we’re using Chase and Philips, because it is so amazingly compendious: Hansen and Quinn’s appendices are so long that it would either be an onerous task to simplify them or people would get lost in the weeds (these sessions meet only once a week for 50 minutes: they can’t cover much and the aim is improving speed/accuracy/fluency in the basics, not figuring out the split hair off the split hair).

For students who cannot make any of those times or who simply don’t want to do it, there are assigned review sheets, which consist of writing out paradigms. Graduate students will verify that the worksheets are filled out (and correct them, but not grade them) and report that to faculty. We hope that the worksheets increase fluency.

The materials for review are as follows:
Latin morphology (pdf), Latin syntax (pdf)
Greek morphology (pdf), Greek syntax (pdf)

Suggested Schedule

Material is CUMULATIVE: i.e. effort should be made to mix in material from previous weeks with the current week's new material for review.
Complete coverage is desirable, of course, but keep in mind that mastery is the goal here, and sometimes less means more.
