Rules
The course
FR 152 meets for three 50 minute MWF classes or two 80 minute MW/TTh classes with the instructor
and one 50 minute laboratory per week with a lab assistant. Modules 5 to 9 of Deux Mondes are
covered in FR 152.
The instructor will guide students’ efforts to acquire vocabulary, understand language structures,
improve listening and speaking skills and appreciate cultural similarities and differences. Students will
acquire a number of learning strategies throughout the semester in order to meet these goals. Classes
will consist of a variety of activities requiring active participation : group activities, interaction with the
instructor and with fellow classmates, in-class oral and written tests.
Workbook
Students are responsible for completing Modules 5 to 9 in the Deux Mondes workbook.
The labs
The labs are held weekly in ML 109 or 113 ; students will have the opportunity to practice what they
have learned in class through web, audio and video activities. Students must bring the lab manual
(workbook) for the listening exercises. The lab assistant responds to questions, gives feedback and
coaches students on pronunciation, comprehension and writing. Lab work will be evaluated through a
final comprehension test worth 10%.
Important things to know
Policy regarding tests: Students may make up written tests only if they inform the instructor in advance
and in writing that they will be absent and for what reason and produce a medical certificate or other
official documentation for their absence, otherwise a mark of 0 will be allotted. Job interviews are not
acceptable grounds for granting an alternative date for a written test. For written tests, students may
attend other sections if they cannot attend their section on test day, with the permission of the
instructor. To be included in the final mark, all course work must be completed by the last day of
term. See class and test schedule.
The final examination period will be held from December 8 to 22, 2015. Student travel plans are not
acceptable grounds for granting an alternative final examination time. The examination schedule will
be posted online by October 21, 2015.
Auditors
Auditors will only be permitted in classes that are not at maximum enrolment. Those seeking AUDIT
standing must attend 80% of classes and may write tests with permission of the instructor. Auditors may
participate in group or partner activities if prepared and if numbers warrant. Auditors are asked to limit
questions to the time outside of class.

Department policy
The Department reserves the right to refuse admission to, and/or credit for, any of its language courses
to a student who has, in the view of the Department, a level of competence unsuited to that course.
University policies
Academic Integrity
In order to maintain a culture of academic integrity, members of the University of Waterloo community
are expected to promote honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility. See the UWaterloo Academic
Integritity Webpage (https://uwaterloo.ca/academic-integrity/) and the Arts Academic Integrity Office
Webpage
(http://arts.uwaterloo.ca/current-undergraduates/academic-responsibility)
for
more
information.
Grievance
A student who believes that a decision affecting some aspect of his/her university life has been unfair or
unreasonable may have grounds for initiating a grievance. Read Policy 70, Student Petitions and
Grievances, Section 4 (https://uwaterloo.ca/secretariat/policies-procedures-guidelines/policy-70). When
in doubt please be certain to contact the department’s administrative assistant who will provide further
assistance.
Discipline
A student is expected to know what constitutes academic integrity to avoid committing academic offenses
and to take responsibility for his/her actions. A student who is unsure whether an action constitutes an
offense, or who needs help in learning how to avoid offenses (e.g., plagiarism, cheating) or about “rules”
for group work/collaboration should seek guidance from the course professor, academic advisor, or the
undergraduate associate dean. For information on categories of offenses and types of penalties, students
should
refer
to
Policy
71,
Student
Discipline
(http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infosec/Policies/policy71.htm). For typical penalties check Guidelines for
the Assessment of Penalties (http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infosec/guidelines/penaltyguidelines.htm).
Appeals
A decision made or penalty imposed under Policy 70, Student Petitions and Grievances (other than a
petition) or Policy 71, Student Discipline may be appealed if there is a ground. A student who believes
he/she has a ground for an appeal should refer to Policy 72, Student Appeals
(http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infosec/Policies/policy72.htm).
Note for Students with Disabilities
The Office for Persons with Disabilities (OPD), located in Needles Hall, Room 1132, collaborates with all
academic departments to arrange appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities without
compromising the academic integrity of the curriculum. If you require academic accommodations to
lessen the impact of your disability, please register with the OPD at the beginning of each academic term.
