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.

Sam is an absolutely amazing professor, I took all three Latin classes with him. He was very accommodating during COVID and BLM protests, and genuinely cared about our mental health and well being. He is such a kind person and a great professor, although latin is not easy and the vocabulary and syntax pile on pretty fast but overall this series was very doable and enjoyable.
