Attendance is required at all times.
Tea is available on Friday afternoons, when I invite students to drop by just to chat. During the other office hours, I welcome visits from students to discuss difficulties, successes, perplexities, perspectives, and to make necessary arrangments, such as for absences. It's your job to take the initiative, so do come by for a visit. It takes the drudge work out of writing in French. This course is for you if you have had some French but placed into FRE 101.
