Guidance in preparing enrichment material in language classes and in designing and teaching courses dealing with classical life and institutions, drama, art, mythology, and literature on the secondary level.
Dept reasoning for alternate mtg pattern:
The course is required of all the department's master's degree students, some of whom are always doing student-teaching off campus and therefore unavailable before 4PM. To accomodate their shcedules the course can only meet once per week (for 21/2 hours), and it would be unreasonable to require the course to begin later, thus ending past PM for students who have already put in a full day of teaching. The Classics department's graduate level courses have always (30+ years) been taught in this time slot.
