Fall 2018 - This is for the whole Latin 1, 2, and 3 series. Professor Beckelhymer was amazing. He is super helpful and is engaging when the material allows for it. He is very passionate about the material which can be difficult in a class like this but his emotions rub off on the students as he gets excited about certain topics. I highly recommend taking the Latin series with Professor Beckelhymer.

Spring 2022 - Professor Beckelhymer is a great professor. The class teaches you Latin fairly well, similar to Latin 1 and 2. However, if you take the semi-asynchronous option, your classes are all taught by a TA, so the quality really depends on the TA. Patrick Callahan was nice and helpful, but sometimes a little scattered. Still, not a bad class overall. Like Latin 1 and 2, the pace is really quick and there just isn't time to dive very deep into Roman culture and literature, like I got to do in high school, but you will learn Latin.
