..Latin Difficult Exam?

wildareal:
So there's no scansion in Uni? It's a big part of the 3/4 course, and can get a bit tenuous at times. What does the uni course involve? Cheers.

Mulan:
languages = YUCK  :buck2:
well excluding maybe latin, german cause they look kool + have never done them

vexx:
binders- yeah i can imagine uni being better, and more relaxed, sacs are definitely the worst. but doing it via vce adds to your score, so that's a bonus!

mulan- ha as if! languages are awesome!~

it’s basically all the morphology and most of the syntax. there’s no commentary, essays on style or interpretation in 1st year, just translation and a tiny bit of scansion which is introduced almost as an afterthought. by the end of the year you’ve done the syntax up-to and including concessive clauses. in 2nd year you get the essays and interpretation in the reading classes.

The textbook we used was “Reading Latin” by Jones & Sidwell, which you could look up on google books to get an idea.

yeah, it’s the only good reason to do it in vce imho. i did it and it took the pressure off for enter!

dptjandra:
Latin = easy marks (after mark up) as long as you are not overly lazy in the years leading up to it.  Compared to virtually every other subject, the amount you actually learn in Yr 12 to complete the exam is so minimal.  Admittedly, it is marked the most harshly, but generally it doesn't really matter too much after mark up.
