Lauren's D-Plan

What's a D-Plan?

    • FallHanover, NH

      Favorite Class: WRIT 5 Deus et Machina: Sports, Science and Ethics

      I took this class as part of Dartmouth's first year writing requirement. We read a pro cyclist's life narrative, discussed research papers on controversial topics in sports, and wrote our own papers on a contentious sports technology of our choice. I really enjoyed this course's emphasis on discussion, and the small class size!

    • WinterHanover

      Favorite Class: CLST 11.17 Greek Athletics

      This was my first class in the classics department, which was super exciting as a classical studies major! We learned about the ancient Olympics and the connections between athletics and other aspects of ancient Greek society. I loved the final project in this class, which involved creating an argument about how the ancient pentathlon was scored!

    • SpringHanover

      Favorite Class: LAT 3 Latin 3

      To conclude my language requirement, I took Latin 3! This class was super exciting because we began to read ancient texts and poetry. We also took a class trip to the Rauner Special Collections library so we could physically handle and read some manuscripts. And as an added bonus, Latin counts as a prerequisite for my classical studies major!

    • SummerRome, Italy

      Favorite Class: ITAL 4 Reading Rome

      As a part of my language study abroad in Italy, I also took a class on Italian history and culture! We went on field trips to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, participated in walking tours of Rome, and watched a lot of great cinema in this class! I loved it so much that I decided to minor in Italian.

    • FallHanover

      Favorite Class: CLST 6 Classical Archaeology

      This class, in addition to being a pre-requisite for my major, was super interesting! I loved learning about archaeology through hands-on projects and lectures that felt like TED Talks.

    • WinterRome, Italy

      Favorite Class: ITAL 10 Italian Literature: Masterworks and Great Issues

      My favorite course on my Italian LSA+ in Rome is focused on Italian literature, which we are studying in a reverse-chronological order! It has been incredibly fun to see different topics and styles evolve over time and to learn from the works of the best writers.

A Year in Photos

I've been blogging all year, but for this post I wanted to take a broader look back at my Dartmouth year and share a photo from each month!
