Latin

It is a very small class and thus it is possible to have very in-depth discussions and personalized readings. Ganiban is very knowledgeable in Augustan poetry, and his complementary readings are very helpful. However, as language acquisition, I think one has to prepare more on one's own and raise questions actively instead of waiting Ganiban to guide you through the grammar and syntax.

Professor Chaplin is a very good latin teacher, not to mention that she is probably superb on her history classes. She would make sure you get everything in class, and would always print out extra practice sheets just for us to review things, which helped so much. It is much less paced in comparison to J-term latin, but it is still latin every day. Works are do-able but one does need at least an attentive hour at least for the homework. The class was small and we made friends there. Overall a cozy classics experience.

Professor Ganiban is one of the foremost Vergilians in the country and reading the Aeneid with him is awesome. There is a big final paper at the end of the course that can be challenging if you have not done the work throughout the semester.
