Through the reading and study of primary texts from Latin authors, students will develop their understanding of grammatical and syntactical structures of Latin, increase their vocabulary, and expand their knowledge of the Roman world. Readings revolve around the intersections of gender politics, insurrection, and rhetoric. In addition, students will work with earlier material remains, such as inscriptions and documentary papyri. The course will conclude with literature from Medieval Latin. Skills will be enhanced through writing, hearing, and speaking the language; content and format alike will encourage students to consider ways in which Latin continues to be very much a part of our world today.
RCCORE 310. Accelerated Review-French.Foreign LanguageSection 001.Instructor(s): Dominique M Butler-Borruat (dborruat@umich.edu)Prerequisites & Distribution: Permission of instructor. (4). (LR). Credits: (4). Course Homepage: No homepage submitted. The goal of this course is to bring students to the level of Proficiency defined in the brochure "The French Program at the Residential College," in the four linguistic skills. Students who take 310 typically have not reached this level in two or more skills, but do not need the Intensive course 290 to do so. "Accelerated Review-310" is taught on a semi-tutorial mode with hours arranged to meet the particular needs of the students. In this course, emphasis is placed on correctness and fluidity of expression in speaking and in writing. Speaking skills are developed though weekly conversation sessions on current topics; personalized pronunciation diagnoses are administered and exercises prescribed. Writing skills are refined through a review of deficient grammar points and composition assignments which give students the opportunity to improve the accuracy and expressiveness of their style. In addition, exposure to primary source materials (current magazines or newspapers) and to texts of cultural and literary value develop reading ability and vocabulary. Listening skills are trained in informal conversational exchanges and in lectures with note-taking in French.
RCCORE 314. Accelerated Review-Spanish.Foreign LanguageSection 001.Instructor(s): Helen Webb (webbh@umich.edu)Prerequisites & Distribution: (4). (LR). Credits: (4). Course Homepage: No homepage submitted. This course is designed for students with a fairly extensive background in Spanish who have already taken the equivalent of three/four semesters of language, but still need further reinforcement in two or more linguistic areas and are too advanced for second year intensive. The main focus of this class is the discussion of primary source materials of literary, cultural, and political nature pertaining to the Spanish-speaking world, as well as the review of advanced grammar. Students work towards proficiency in listening and reading comprehension, language structure, and composition.
