Course goals:

The purpose of this course is to:
  1. to give students an opportunity to develop and improve their oral proficiency in French;
  2. to improve students' ability to express themselves in French;
  3. to develop and improve students' written proficiency in French;
  4. to promote vocabulary acquisition;
  5. to increase the understanding and appreciation of the culture of the French and that of the people of the Francophone countries.

Course expectations:

 In order to be achieved successfully, the above goals require the student's total cooperation. Regular class attendance, active class participation, timely preparation of reading assignments and independent, daily review of vocabulary and structures are key ingredients to success.

Assignments:

In addition to these assignments, there will be spontaneous, ungraded writing done in class.

Assessment: To monitor student perception of progress and attitude to the teaching and learning process, students will be asked to complete pre and post survey questions as well as formative questions every two weeks. To ensure participation in the assessment process, points will be assigned to completed questionnaires.
Final Project: There will be a final project (oral or written) relating to the murder mystery.

Exams:
