Prerequisites
This subject IS NOT an introduction to the Latin language, but is intended for students who have studied Latin in high school or who have an equivalent knowledge. In addition, the students must have well assimilated the basic contents of nominal and verbal morphosyntax, syntax of the cases and of the sentence and lexicon, which are part of the program of the subject Elements of Latin of the first semester. The student who has difficulty reaching such level could ask the teachers for support materials and help in tutoring sessions, but will have the responsibility to strive to get there.
Language
The student must have the willingness to follow classes taught in Catalan and use written material in that language (without excluding others), but they can use in their work or their participation Spanish (or another similar language if the case is given).
This subject is the logical continuation of the subject "Elements of the Latin Language" that most of the students have taken in the first semester of the first year. After having consolidated the basic grammatical and lexical knowledge in the aforementioned subject, Narratius Texts proposes to continue, on the one hand, with the study of progressively more sophisticated elements of Latin grammar (always from their occurrence in the texts); and, on the other, with the practice of comprehensive reading, commentary and, where appropriate, translation of basically narrative Latin texts.
At the end of the semester, the student should be able to:
I. TEXTS
Prose. Selection of texts by Petronius and other authors (if necessary slightly adapted).
Poetry. Selection of epigrams of Martial.
II. GRAMMAR
Nominal and verbal morphology.
Deepening in the syntax of the cases.
Syntax of the simple sentence.
Complex sentence syntax.
III. THE SATIRICON BY PETRONIUS
Reading of the Satiricon by Petronius.
Teaching activities will be eminently practical. The teacher and students will spend time on:
The student must be responsible for keeping up to date the proposed text for comprehensive reading, the morphosyntactic and lexical activities and the reading work.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The evaluation of the student will be based on the collection of the following evidence:
If the faculty has two or more unique pieces of evidence, the student will not be able to receive a non-assessable grade. Thus, any student who has presented two or more pieces of evidence will have a failing scale grade up to MH, according to these percentages.
However, to be in a position to pass the subject, the student, at a minimum, must have completed:
Thus, in the event that the sum of the weighting of the grades is 5 or more, but one of the two requirements mentioned above to pass it is not met, the student will have a grade of 4.5 (suspended).
In the recovery test, which will be scheduled by the Dean of the Faculty, only a grade of 5 (Passed) may be chosen.
In order to take the make-up test, it is necessary to have previously taken the three language tests (basic morphology and syntax + the two text comprehension, vocabulary and grammar tests).
The test schedule is as follows (provided that it is not advised to change it for reasons of force majeure):
In the event that the student cannot attend a partial test or the final make-up test on the scheduled day, they will not have the opportunity to repeat the exam, unless the faculty considers it appropriate in view of the supporting documentation of the reason. of the absence
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
In the event that tests or exams and the activities and participation in class cannot take place onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
The student will have the right to a revision of the tests and other activities of evaluation, that will happen in an individualized way with the professor in the date and schedule that this establishes and that will communicate to the students.
This subject does not incorporate single assessment.
