GRE 101	Ancient Greek I	MoWe TuTh	10:35-11:30 11:00-12:20	Jeff Carnes	Heroy Geology Building 114 Sims Hall 337		Greek 101 is a beginning course whose goal is the acquisition of reading knowledge of Ancient Greek. By the end of the year students will have mastered the basic grammatical structures of the language and will have a vocabulary of several hundred words. Since Ancient Greek is no longer a "living" language (i.e., there are no native speakers), the emphasis in the course is necessarily on reading. We do, however, make extensive use of oral and written exercises as an aid to the acquisition of reading knowledge. In addition, we devote time to the study of Greek culture (social, historical, and literary) via supplemental readings of both primary and secondary sources.

LAT 101	Latin I	MoWe TuTh	3:45-4:40 3:30-4:45	M. van der Meer	Tolley 110 CH 017		Introduction to a language that served a tiny village on the Tiber River in Italy, then a massive empire that reached from the Atlantic to the Persian Gulf, from Scotland and Germany to Morocco and Sudan. Long after it ceased to be spoken, it served Europe as the international language of diplomacy, education, and professional skills, such as law, medicine, science, and theology into modern times.
