Expansion and consolidation of the knowledge of the Latin poetry. Consolidation of language competence and translation skills.

Translation of passages from Latin prose works from various genres and periods chosen from the reading list.

Regular translation assessment

Written (Translation assessments).

1. Students must prepare the texts, i.e. read and translate them in advance and know the contents.

2. The assessments are intended to controll this. 

3. The assessments have two parts: (1) translation of a part of a Latin text from the reading list into German or English (other languages are also possible), (2) answering a few questions about the content. Both parts must be positive to pass an assessment.

4. Students must pass at least 80% of assessments in order to pass the course.
