Main themes
In-depth study of classical Latin grammar, mainly syntax, with a linguistic approach (origin and evolution of the structures of the language).
Both Level III courses (A and B) will cover a selection of chapters related to the syntax of the simple and complex sentence.
In addition, the student will learn additional vocabulary and translate short texts (versions) and long texts (cursive).

Teaching methods
Alternating interactive class sessions (including an inversed class teaching activity) and practical work.
Evaluation methods
The evaluation of the learning outcomes will take place as follows:
- Regular tests during practical work sessions, which will be worth one fifth of the final grade. In case of failure in this part, a complementary test (version) will have to be presented at the September session. Attendance at the practical sessions is required: in the event of unjustified absence from more than 3 sessions or failure to present for the tests and evaluated versions, the teacher may, in accordance with article 72 of the RGEE, propose to the jury that it oppose the registration of a student in the June or September session.
- Written test of theoretical knowledge and practical skills (including theme and version). This test will be worth two fifths of the final mark. It will take place in the June or September exams session.
- Oral test to check mastery of cursive reading. This test will be worth two fifths of the final mark. It is spread over the two sessions of January (partial examination, 1/5 of the final mark) and June (1/5 of the final mark). Article 82 of the RGEE applies: 鈥淚f the student does not sit the examination in June, he or she loses the benefit of the partial examination. If the student has not reached the pass mark for the January partial examination, he or she will sit an examination on the entire examination at the June session. In any case, in September, the examination covers the whole test.鈥�
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) must be used responsibly and in accordance with the practices of academic and scientific integrity. Scientific integrity requires that sources be cited, and the use of AI must always be reported. The use of artificial intelligence for tasks where it is explicitly forbidden will be considered as cheating.
