Course Requirements
|
Class
Attendance Policy,
Participation and Daily Work:
Attendance is mandatory. Daily attendance
will be taken. Three (3) unexcused absences are allowed. For
each absence beyond that, 1% will be deducted from your
participation grade for each day missed. Students who present
their instructor with an excused absence card for a
university-related activity or with a written excuse from a
physician are excused from class but not from submitting
assignments on time. Other absences that may be considered
“excused” will be determined at the professor’s
discretion. Also, habitual late arrival and/or early departure
are impolite and disruptive and may affect your participation
grade at the professor’s discretion.
Readings and class discussion are an important part of this class.
It is crucial that student make the required readings in a
timely manner in order to be able to participate in class
discussion. Evaluation will be based on observation of
willingness to participate fully, frequently, and constructively
in class, as well as on preparation before class. Class
discussion will be in French.
Mid-term
and Final Take-home exams:
Students will receive two take-home exams. Each take-home
exam will include 3 questions from which the student will
choose one and answer it by writing an original paper in French.
Each paper must be 7 to 8 pages long (double line spacing) NO
LESS and NO MORE! Shorter or longer texts will
not be taken into account! The questions will refer to the
material studied in class, including the movies, as well as the
readings.
NOTE: Take-home exams are due at
4pm
of the day for which they were assigned and MUST BE SENT BY
E-MAIL at lise.bouchard@sdstate.edu
If you miss a class for any reason, it is your
responsibility to contact another student or the professor to
find out the reading assignments for the next class period.
Cheating
and Plagiarism Policy:
The policies on cheating and plagiarism
contained in Chapter 1 of the student handbook (01:10:23:01 –
01:10:23:04) are adhered to strictly in this class. Presenting
another student’s work as one’s own or cheating on quizzes
or tests may result in one of the following punishments: (1)
failure on the individual assignment, (2) failure in the course,
(3) dismissal from the university.
Special
Needs/Accommodations (
ADA
Statement):
Students with special needs are entitled to “reasonable
accommodation” under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
If you require special accommodations of any kind in order to
participate in this class should immediately contact me (in full
confidence of privacy) and then make an appointment as soon as
