If you haven't mastered the first two years of Latin, you have until term two to do so since term one is used for review, take advantage of it.

Be sure to know all of your declensions and conjugations by heart! He does review them at the beginning of the year but only briefly, as it is expected from you to know them by Latin 3! BE READY FOR LOTS OF TRANSLATIONS. This class is solely based on being proficient in translating Latin into English and English into Latin! I will guarantee you that nearly all his quizzes (if not all of them) will be translations! But, if you survive his class, you will be well prepared for the later courses and be a master at translating! His class is rigorous but not unfair or too challenging for the most part. Good Luck!
