Book: Mitschke: Imaginez 2nd ed.: Textbook & Supersite Plus code (Vista Higher Learning, 2012). Available at PSU
bookstore, or on-line at www.vistahigherlearning.com.
Recommended: Jacqueline Morton, English Grammar for Students of French
Textbook Website: www.vhlcentral.com You will need a Supersite Plus Code (inside your book) to access the Supersite
and WebSAM (on-line Student Activities Manual).
A note on the textbook: Imaginez assumes you have had a year of college-level French or the equivalent. Much of the
material in FR201 is review, so the textbook does not present grammar in the same way as a beginning-level text. The
grammatical component will not be as detailed or seem as methodical as in 1st year. Our coverage of grammar is intended
to extend your existing conceptual knowledge and proficiency and put them to use in communicative contexts. (If you
need a more thorough review, you may wish to consult your 1st-year book.) You will be assigned some Fiches de
Grammaire (found at the end of Imaginez) for review purposes. You are responsible for understanding this material,
which may not be presented in class.
Course Policies:
1) Regular class attendance is expected. You should notify your instructor when absent. Your final grade will be lowered
if you have more than 3 absences; missing 3 or more weeks of class will normally result in a failing grade.
2) All work in the Devoirs column of the programme is to be completed by the due-date. If you know you will be absent,
make arrangements to turn the work in when due, or submit it ahead of time. Late work will not be accepted.
3) Online Student Activities Manual (WebSAM): The on-line homework is an essential component of the course.
Assignments are listed on the website, and also on the programme. You should complete all assigned exercises.
4) Compositions: You will be assigned two compositions (rédactions). Rewrites are mandatory and count for a
significant portion of the grade. Full credit will not be given for a composition if the re-write is not completed.
5) Tests: A quiz on chapter 1, an exam on chapters 1-2, and a final exam are scheduled. These will cover the assigned
material from chapters 1-3, as well as any additional material covered in class. The final exam will cover all the
material from the term. Additional short quizzes on assigned material and verb mastery will also be given. Some oral
exams will take place outside of class time.
Make-up tests are not ordinarily given unless special arrangements are made with the instructor in advance. If for some
reason you must miss an exam, you should make every effort to contact your instructor by e-mail before the exam.
Requests for exceptions to this policy will be granted only in special circumstances and at the instructor’s discretion.
6) Final grades will be based on the following percentages:

Participation & Preparation:

A- / A:
90-93% / 94-100%
