Successful completion of the course presupposes 68 class hours of direct contact with the French language, in much the same way that a laboratory course or any skill-licensing course presupposes a predetermined number of contact or practical hours. Nevertheless, students are allowed five absences for which it is not necessary to present a written excuse.
Students are responsible for any and all information presented in class.
This excludes absences after the fifth which are due to religious holidays, illness, accidents or other exceptional circumstances. Such absences should be reported promptly and will require written documentation as explained above. No make-up work is accepted for any kind of unexcused absence or late arrival to class. This includes the Final Exam which will be given during Finals Week which lasts from Friday, December 7 until Friday, December 14, 2001. Expect to be present and available to take your Final Exam until the last day of Finals Week.
