I'm currently in Latin 3, and selling an extra Latin dictionary (the Cassell's Latin Dictionary), brand new. Contact ********** if interested. I recommend having a dictionary with you but it is NOT required by the class. And I love Latin classes here! they are the most interesting classes I ever took
Beckelhymer is great. I wouldn't want to take Latin from anyone else. Very helpful, very understanding. Always engaged in student learning. This class was definitely tough, but he is always eager to help students catch up during office hours.
Took this class over the summer as part of my PA reqs and this was by far the easiest course ever. That being said, it is an easy A but also super helpful. I am so grateful to have taken this class right before Anatomy and it is paying off! Professor Beckelhymer is such a sweet and genuine person. He wants everyone to succeed and was great this quarter.
Only COVID-19 has this professor hanging in and hanging on. Poor dude, couldn't spell multiple medical terms, including on the exams he provided. The weirdest bit? His obsession with genitalia medical terms surrounding women's bodies and his frequent if not weekly use of the word sphincter in quizzes. This professor will remind you white men fail upwards all the time.
This professor made countless of my classmates feel stupid when meanwhile he himself was a moron; and I don't provide that review lightly. Why are all the lecturers on this campus so often white, so often male and so weird about talking about bodies like we're not adults? Can they enter this century and discuss bodies without a giggle? This guy needs to get reported but even sitting across from him again to do that would give me the heebie jeebies. You been warned.
You want a paper/post a week on medical terminology, 20 hours of work if you can't find the right answers on the internet and more?
HARD PASS.
SKIP.
AVOID LIKE RONA.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure he adds himself to the GroupMe, posing as a student like that's not creepy. I hope more of his real students start reviewing him cause this one's a mess.
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.
I liked Latin and I love this professor! He is really funny and his lectures are engaging. My only con with this class is that it goes really fast so once you fall behind be prepared to catch up. The professor is always reachable and very helpful. The ta's are great and the professor is a kind grader. A lot of studying outside of class but to be expected with a language.
