Teaching and Learning in Classics Featured

The Department of Classics is the subject of two features in the 2015 report on Teaching and Learning in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences: 

  • "Giving Students Permission to Enter into an Uncertain Beauty" (pp. 18-19), on Prof. Peter Anderson's pedagogical techniques;
  • "Unstoppable Classicists" (p. 20), on the informal Summer Greek and Latin Reading Groups organized by the department since 2002.

"... Anderson tries to push his students toward a more productive view of Latin as a language of ideas. He tries to leverage the way the student’s brain works. 'Failure is an expression of uncertainty, never a bad thing,' Anderson notes. 'Latin is the language of second chances.'"
