8 or 10 credits, (see below) This course will make it possible for students with no background in ancient language to read Homer, Plato, Greek tragedy, Herodotus, and other classical texts after one semester's intensive work. Daily drill and frequent quizzes, together with ample access to tutoring and extra help, ensure that students stay on track as they master Greek grammar and vocabulary. At this pace, students will begin reading short selections from classical authors after only a few weeks and longer passages by midterm. Those who want more such reading may sign up for an additional 2-credit tutorial that begins after midterm, meeting an additional two hours per week (TBA) to read as many such selections as time allows. Those wishing to enroll in this course must consult with Prof. Romm or attend the informational meeting in late April. First-year students will be admitted only if they have prior successful experience with language learning; other first-years are encouraged to take Latin if they desire to learn an ancient language. Class size: 18
