The best aspects of this course included the instructor’s engaging demeanor and the well-articulated delivery of the content. Students appreciated that the instructor checked their comprehension of material as they progressed throughout the year. Some students felt that the class moved too fast, making it easy to fall behind. One suggestion for improvement included less of a focus on translation 72 and more of a concentration on Latin literature. Prospective students should have a genuine interest in learning Latin and should be prepared to memorize material.
