Other The course supports the development of a large number of important employment skills, most notably the ability to understand, commit to memory, and successfully deploy the elements of a complex communication system. Conscientious study of an ancient language enhances understanding of English grammatical structures and broadens vocabulary, thereby enhancing the ability to communicate clearly, concisely and eloquently. Students of ancient languages also learn how to extract key elements from complex information and to identify, make sense of, and solve associated problems. 2 x 1 hour lectures per week; 2 x 1 hour seminars per week; 1 dedicated consultation hour per week; Canvas:  extensive course material, blended learning materials, and information.    Lectures introduce new grammatical material which will then be further explained and reinforced in the highly interactive seminars.Formal written homework is set each week and individually marked. This is a crucial part of the teaching and learning process. Also on Canvas is a self-training programme, which consists of a large bank of quizzes, graded by level, on vocabulary, morphology, and syntax. Students are expected to make extensive use of these materials, in order to help them to learn the large amount of new material that they will meet during the course. The programme gives immediate feedback, including scores, correct answers, and, in the case of more complex questions, explanations.  0 Other 100% <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse;width:178pt" width="237"> <tbody> <tr height="100" style="height:75.0pt"> <td class="xl66" height="100" style="height:75.0pt;width:113pt" width="150">Mid-term test (this will be a mixture of timed Blackboard tests and a shorter translation paper)</td> <td align="right" class="xl68" style="border-left:none;width:65pt" width="87">40%</td> </tr> </tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse;width:175pt" width="233"> <tbody> <tr height="100" style="height:75.0pt"> <td class="xl66" height="100" style="height:75.0pt;width:110pt" width="146">Exam</td> <td align="right" class="xl68" style="border-left:none;width:65pt" width="87">60%</td> </tr> </tbody></table>  <ul> <li style="margin-left: 18pt;">Weekly feedback on formative homework exercises;</li> <li style="margin-left: 18pt;">Written feedback on formative and summative assessment (see above);</li> <li style="margin-left: 18pt;">Automated feedback through online quizzes</li> <li style="margin-left: 18pt;">Additional one-to-one feedback (during the consultation hour or by making an appointment).</li></ul> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width:168px;"> Pre-requisite units</td> <td style="width:484px;"> At least 50% scored in the course unit CAHE70171 Intensive Latin 1.
