FRENCH 102(D) Spring 2010 Instructor: Office: Hours: Telephone: Email: (Course coordinator: Joan Debrah, Moore 494, 956-4179, joand@hawaii.edu) GRADING: Présence/Préparation/Participation: 10% Devoirs (homework): 20% Contrôles (tests) (3), Quizzes: 40% Examen final: 15% Examens oraux (3) 15% 100% Welcome to your second semester of French! We're very pleased that you are taking French and hope you will enjoy continuing your language study in this class. Read this syllabus carefully and keep it for reference throughout the semester. Please see your instructor and/or the course coordinator if you have any questions about the course, about your placement in this level of French, registration problems, tutoring, homework assignments, a French major or certificate, French club activities, or anything else related to the course. If you don't understand something, please don't hesitate to ask your instructor to repeat or to explain! This course is a continuation of French 101, with further development of your speaking, understanding, writing, and reading in French, as you continue to learn basic vocabulary, grammar structures, and pronunciation. You will also learn more about the culture of the French-speaking world. Textbook: Horizons, 4th edition, Manley, Smith, McMinn, & Prévost Both the textbook and workbook are required. The "lab" listening exercises at the back of the workbook will be done using an "MP3CD" purchased for $3.00. Your instructor will collect the payments and get the CD for you from the Language Learning Center in Moore Hall. The MP3CD used in French 101 during the Fall '09 semester may be used for French 102 also (as well as for 201 and 202). Présence/Préparation/Participation: Attendance is mandatory. After four unexcused absences, one point will be deducted from the 10 point participation grade for each additional unexcused absence. Excused absences are documented absences and include university-sanctioned travel, serious illness requiring a doctor s visit, court appearance, and road closure and/or electrical outages due to a serious storm, etc. as determined by the instructor. Tardies (over 5 minutes) will count as a half or three-quarters absence, as appropriate. Devoirs: Homework is to be done DAILY. Written exercises will be assigned at each class period and are listed on this sylllabus. No late assignments will be accepted (except in the case of excused absences: call or email your instructor or check the syllabus for the assignment, and
turn it in no later than the second class period after your return.) The "lab" listening exercises are also listed in this syllabus. They will be done using the MP3CD and are normally due at the end of each chapter. Careful preparation and frequent review are necessary in language learning. Develop good study habits and see your instructor or a tutor for extra help when you need it don't delay if you need help! Use the CDs that come with the textbook to listen to the dialogues and pronunciation sections (marked with a picture of headphones) in your textbook. Contrôles, Quizzes: Short quizzes will be given periodically during the semester; the lowest quiz grade will be dropped before averaging your scores. Chapter tests (contrôles) will be given after Chapters 5, 6, 7, and 8. Examen final: A written exam will be given at the end of the semester. The final will specifically cover the last 2 chapters (8 & 9), but may contain material from previous chapters as well. Study guides will help you prepare for contrôles and the final exam. Examens oraux: Oral exams will take place outside of class time during the semester, and on the last day of class. The format for these will vary; study guides will help you prepare. More information will be given as the dates for these approach. Please note that quizzes and exams must be taken on the scheduled dates. There are no makeups for quizzes; the lowest quiz score will be dropped before figuring final grades. For all others - contrôles, final, and orals make-ups will be allowed in case of absence ONLY with a valid excuse and ONLY if you contact your instructor the day of the absence; it is your responsibility to meet with your instructor to set up a time for the make-up, and the make-up must be completed within a week of your returning to class. Special notices: 1) Students with disability-related needs or concerns are invited to contact the Kokua office in the Queen Lilioukalani Student Services building, room 13 (956-7511). 2) Please turn off your cell phone ringers and pagers when in class. 3) There is to be absolutely NO texting during class time. Students seen texting will be counted absent that day and will receive a zero (0) grade for all work (homework, quizzes, tests) that day. 4) Free tutoring will be available each week. The schedule will be announced later. 5) Extra credit will be available for participation in French club activities. Activities include French films, cooking classes, conversation groups, etc. More info later. 6) Compositions and other work done using computer translators, and/or someone else's translations of your English work will not be accepted. If your instructor suspects the use of the above, s/he may give you a zero for that assignment, or ask you to re-do it in his/her presence. Do your own work. 7) This syllabus may be slightly changed if necessary as the semester progresses.
