Greek

I have taught every level of Greek offered, using my own materials to teach spoken Attic Greek in the GREK 101–103 sequence. In the GREK 202–203 sequence, we read authors including Lucian and Plato.

Latin

I have taught every level of Latin offered, using Eduardo Engelsing's materials for the LAT 101–103 and 201 courses and my own text of the Historia Apollonii regis Tyri with Latin commentary for LAT 202–203.

Materials for Students

Every field has its own writing style and conventions for things like citation and bibliographic format. Classicists in America tend to follow the rather minimalist TAPA style. The style guide below serves as a formatting reference for students writing papers for the CLST 450 courses; the Pages template should help students using Apple's Pages word processor start a paper with the right formatting.

The following links take you to OPML files. OPML is the standard way to construct lists of blogs, podcasts, or other RSS feeds. You can save them and give them to iTunes, RSS feed readers and aggregators like Feedly, or do other useful things with them as files. With a bit of XSL magic, I've also made them legible to human beings as well.
