Requirements
You should have taken Latin 1A and 1B at CSUS or two semesters of Latin at another university. Two years of study in high school should be sufficient preparation for this class. If you are in doubt, contanct the instructor.I recommend that you have a SacLink account for electronic mail and Internet services. Although a home computer with a high speed modem running Netscape or Internet Explorer would be beneficial, students can use the Web from one of the campus student labs. For web pages which contain exercises based on Ecce Romani, see overviewLatin1A.htm
In Fall 2004, after a week's review (which will include some handouts and lesson 36) the class will begin with Ecce Romani lesson 37 "Off to School" and proceed to Lesson 53 or 54 by the end of the semester.
