Classroom etiquette: Because this is a challenging advanced grammar class, perfect attendance
and punctuality are essential. You are expected to be in class and to be prepared for class. Please
do not hold conversations with classmates when your instructor or another student is speaking.
Also refrain from participating in other distractive behavior. CELL PHONES AND LAPTOPS
MUST BE TURNED OFF AND AWAY FROM YOUR DESK. Your individual attention in
class is a must. An atmosphere of mutual respect is in order. Please be on time and remain for the
entire period. Arriving late and/or leaving early are a distraction to your classmates who are
trying to listen to a lecture or participate in a discussion. If you must be absent one day, you are
still responsible for any assignment given for the next day you come to class. You may want to
be in touch with a couple of reliable classmates who will let you know exactly what you missed
and what is expected from you in case you’re not able to contact me immediately.
1Course structure: In this class we will study and analyze all the grammar points presented in
each section of our textbook and we will cover selected exercises within each section. We will
also study six literary texts which will be the topic for the compositions that you will write.
Evaluations: There will be a total of four (4) tests. Each one will cover the material studied up
to that point. You will be tested strictly on grammar use and vocabulary. NO MAKE-UP
EXAMS WILL BE GIVEN.
Compositions: They will be three (3) in total, typed, font Times New Roman 12, and 2-3 pages
in length. You will turn in a hard copy of these essays in class. They will be largely annotated by
your instructor with remarks and advice for improvement. You will have at least one (1) week to
correct your paper according to the corrections code provided in this syllabus. The sum of the
two drafts –the original version and the corrected one- will make your grade for each paper. The
evaluation criteria will be the following: textual organization, logic of content and supportive
details, vocabulary use, morphological and syntactic use, awareness of your audience, and
mechanics. Being knowledgeable in the French language (native/heritage speakers) does not
guarantee a good grade in itself. Besides the hard copy turned in in class, you will submit these
papers to TURNITIN, an internet-based plagiarism detection service that screens students’
papers for verbatim text and identifies the sources. To do this you will go to www.turnitin.com
and follow the prompts to access our class which was created under the name of FRE 3420
Review Grammar Writing I.

Homework: You will turn in the eight (8) Bilans in our textbook on the dates marked in your
syllabus and you will correct your mistakes according to the answers in the Corrigés/Answer
Key. You will pay attention to not copy the answers straight from the Corrigés because if you do,
neither you nor your instructor will know what needs to be reviewed. The purpose of doing
homework is to practice and self-test. Your grade will not be affected by the number of mistakes
you make, so please do your homework, highlight your mistakes, and then correct them
according to the Corrigés. Also, you might receive differential assignments so that you may
participate more effectively in class discussions.
Activités culturelles: Since language cannot be separated from culture, you will participate in
three (3) of the many cultural activities that Le Cercle Français and Pi Delta Phi will sponsor
throughout the semester. Should you have to engage in a cultural activity other than those
sponsored by our two French student organizations, please discuss it with me for approval.
Grading: In this course your grade will be based on the following:
Daily preparation & active class participation* 15%
4 tests 40%
3 compositions 40%
Activités culturelles 5%
*Being absent/late will affect this part of your grade negatively.
