but du cours est d'aider les étudiant·es à améliorer leur expression orale et écrite. Les étudiant·es qui réussissent dans ce
cours démontreront une capacité de communication durable, une forte connaissance de stratégies de communication

Le FRE 302 comprend un fort contenu culturel dont l’objet principal est la découverte et la compréhension de la

Une réflexion sur la participation sur Zoom
1. Pour apprendre une langue, nous devons communiquer et comprendre. Cela signifie travailler ensemble et il est
beaucoup plus facile de travailler ensemble quand nous nous sentons à l'aise. C’est pour cela que j'essaie de créer
dans la classe un sentiment de communauté qui nous permet de communiquer en français avec le moins de stress
possible.
2. Garder votre caméra allumée est en fait un bon moyen de réduire le sentiment d'isolement et de maintenir votre
motivation. Voici un excellent article à ce sujet d'une université suisse:
https://www.unine.ch/blog/home/methodes/camera.html
3. Veuillez prévoir de laisser votre caméra allumée et de rester engagé·e autant que possible. Cela vous aidera à
apprendre et en même temps aidera toute la classe. Et bien sûr, n'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous rencontrez des
obstacles qui vous empêchent de participer pleinement.

A Note on Participation via Zoom
1. To learn a language we must communicate and understand. That means working together. It’s much easier to
work together if we get to know each other enough so that we can feel at ease. That’s why one of my goals is to
create a sense of community in the class -- so we can feel reasonably comfortable communicating in French.
2. Keeping your camera on is actually a good way to reduce that feeling of isolation and to keep up your motivation.
Here’s an excellent article on this topic from a Swiss university:
https://www.unine.ch/blog/home/methodes/camera.html
3. Please plan to keep your camera on and to stay engaged as much as possible. It helps you to learn and it helps the
whole class. Please feel free to let me know if you face any obstacles to participating fully.

Présence et devoirs tardifs - Attendance and Late Work
You may turn in assignments early. However, work submitted after an assignment due date, unless otherwise cleared by
the instructor, will be penalized. Assignments submitted more than 5 days late without prior contact with the instructor
will not be accepted. Only one absence will be permitted without a negative impact on grades. Students who are late
DR
(more than 5 minutes) are marked as “late arrivals.” Three late arrivals equal one absence (“L”). Students who leave early
or leave the session for more than a very brief period will also be marked “L”. In the event of serious illness or other
major occurrence, please speak to me personally so that we can find a reasonable solution.
Withdrawal from the Course

When the university opens late or closes early and the time selected is during the middle of class, we will still hold the

Academic Integrity / Plagiarism
Everyone associated with the University of Southern Maine is expected to adhere to the principles of academic integrity
central to the academic function of the university. Any breach of academic integrity represents a serious offense. Each
student has a responsibility to know the standards of conduct and expectations of academic integrity that apply to
academic tasks. Violations of student academic integrity include any actions that attempt to promote or enhance the
academic standing of any student by dishonest means. Cheating on an examination, stealing the words or ideas of another
(i.e., plagiarism), making statements known to be false or misleading, falsifying the results of one's research, improperly
using library materials or computer files, or altering or forging academic records are examples of violations of this policy
which are contrary to the academic purposes for which the University exists. Acts that violate academic integrity disrupt
the educational process and are not acceptable.
DR
Evidence of a violation of the academic integrity policy will normally result in disciplinary action. A copy of the complete
policy may be obtained from the Dean of Students Office website at usm.maine.edu/community-standards-
mediation/academic-integrity or by calling and requesting a copy at (207) 780-5242.
Course Evaluations
At the end of each semester, every student has the opportunity to provide constructive feedback on their courses. It is
important to me that you take the time to let me know your thoughts about the course. I use your feedback to make
improvements to the course materials, assignments, and outcomes.
MaineStreet: Getting your grades, checking your USM bill
USM communicates with students through its MaineStreet Web page at: http://www.usm.maine.edu/. You need
your student ID and password to log into this system. This is the way to find out about your bill. USM does not send any
bills or late payment notices in the mail. You must check MaineStreet. This is also the way to find out your grades, your
AF
course schedule and other information.
