No credit will be given for assignments turned in late. Students are expected to obtain an audiotape copy of each Dossier listening section as assigned. Listen to the tapes often and practice aloud. Students are strongly urged to take part in conversations in French outside of class and to attend French and other international films shown in the course of the semester. Students should strongly consider joining Foreign Language Club and participating in other international cultural activities on campus.
Attendance is mandatory.
Absences will affect your grade. Up to three documented absences are allowed for illness and family emergencies only. Final letter grades will be lowered by one percent of the final average for every unexcused absence over three. Three tardies to class is equivalent to one absence. If you are late or absent, it is your responsibility to find out and do the homework assignment before the next class period and contact me to get any handouts.
