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, NH

      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, NH

      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, NH

      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.

    • SpringHanover, NH

      Favorite Class: LAT 10.04 Latin Manuscripts and Palaeography

      I’m absolutely loving this hands-on introduction to paleography, and the fact that my class meets at Rauner every day! I can’t wait to hear from our guest lecturers, too, and I’ll be sure to share those experiences on the blog. All in all, Latin 10 was a great way to get back into the language after a term away in Rome.

    • SummerHanover, NH

      Favorite Class: LAT 30.08 History and Structure of the Latin Language

      I signed up for this Latin class after the FDOC (first day of class), and I'm so glad I added it to my sophomore summer schedule! Our class is combined with GRK 30.08 History and Structure of the Greek Language, and it has been incredibly interesting to compare the ancient languages and learn a bit of Greek.
