IMPORTANT COURSE NOTES
1. Classroom Etiquette: practicing a foreign language entails taking risks and allowing
yourself to be vulnerable in front of other people. You are used to being able to speak
at a much more sophisticated level in your native language, so working in French is
not always easy. For this reason, it is essential to establish an atmosphere of mutual
respect in the classroom. Please be attentive and listen not only to your instructor but
also to your classmates when they speak.
2. Driving the utmost benefit of instruction, daily attendance is essential. Attending
class is extremely beneficial to hear and speak French, to interact with others and to
receive instant feedback from your instructor and your peers. The instructor should
be informed of any reason for a prolonged absence.
3. Attendance: A student who is absent from a test for legitimate reasons must discuss
an alternative course of action with the instructor. The instructor at his or her own
discretion may transfer the percentage weight for a test to another test. An instructor
will either make this decision on the basis of verbal information provided by the
student or will request a Physician/ Counsellor statement form to confirm an absence
for health reasons. Missed tests, assignments and examinations with no legitimate
reason will be given a grade of F. The instructor will not prepare make-up tests or
assignments.
4. Be on time for classes: Tests, quizzes and compositions will start at the beginning
of class and will not be repeated for latecomers.
5. Please mute your cell phone during class
6.
Students are advised to read the excerpt on PLAGIARISM.
7. Further details on Grading Rubrics
-Compositions
Compositions are paragraph written on a specific topic given by your instructor.
They can vary in length: 200 words to 500 words in French 180. Compositions are
marked out of 100 points: 50 points are for content (respect of the given topic,
appropriate length, creativity, avoidance of repetition, use of vocabulary seen in
class) and 50 points are for proper language use (varied vocabulary, tenses,
conjugations, punctuation, agreements, sentence structure, spelling, prepositions
and avoidance of anglicisms). In French 180, each composition is worth 10%. Dates
are posted on the tentative schedule.
-Tests
Tests are based on unit material and are divided into several sections. They are
grammar questions, vocabulary questions, transformations. Each test is presented
with detailed instructions as well as the mark value and the weight. A few days
before each test, your Instructor will inform you of post the format of the test
through email to all students. In French 180, each test is worth 10% of the final
4
mark, and dates are posted on the tentative schedule.
-Quizzes
There are three (3) in-class quizzes. Date of each quiz will be tentatively provided
on your course schedule. Your instructor will inform you of the date of the quiz
ahead of time.
-Final exam
The final exam will address some of the materials (if not all) your instructor
covered in class. Prior to this exam, your instructor will organize a review session to
allow students to revisit some of the key materials they have studied in class. It will
be useful to keep all your tests and other assignments handed by your instructor
during the school year, as these could be used to study for the final exam.
PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism is a serious offence, the penalty for which is an F on the assignment and possibly also an F in the
course, academic probation, or requirement to withdraw. Plagiarism exists when:
a) the work submitted or presented was done, in whole or in part, by an individual other than the one
submitting or presenting the work (this includes having another impersonate the student or otherwise
substituting the work of another for one’s own in an examination or test);
b) parts of the work are taken from another source without reference to the original author;
c) the whole work (e.g., an essay) is copied from another source, and/or
d) a student submits or presents work in one course which has also been submitted in another course (although
it may be completely original with that student) without the knowledge of or prior agreement of the instructor
involved.
While it is recognized that scholarly work often involves reference to the ideas, data and conclusions of other
scholars, intellectual honesty requires that such references be explicitly and clearly noted.”
Plagiarism occurs not only when direct quotations are taken from a source without specific acknowledgement but
also when original ideas or data from the source are not acknowledged. A bibliography is insufficient to
establish which portions of the student’s work are taken from external sources; footnotes or other recognized
forms of citation must be used for this purpose.
