Not a lot to say about this one. Celotto has probably the easiest course format among the Latin professors, with each person only having to translate one line at a time in class and the three exams all being quite tractable. Just how difficult this course is will depend on your Latin experience -- if you're just coming out of the 2010/2020 sequence, this may be more challenging, but if you have experience reading authentic Latin, it will not be too difficult. That said, Lucretius' De Rerum Natura is worth reading if you haven't yet, so regardless of experience level, this class is definitely a worthy elective choice, though it may not always be the most exciting at times due to the slower pace. #tCFS24
