You may need 2 blank enregistrement tapes or an RW-CD (or MP3) to record your voice to turn in to me for homework and for a final assignment. You may also duplicate the CDs that go with the book IF you wish (RW best) so you can use them at home instead of in lab. Required lab CDs that go with the textbook will be available for duplication in the language lab after Jan 16th (Lab in Old Main downstairs near my office). Expectations Good attendance, voluntary participation in class, pronunciation practice, and group exercises, as well as a positive attitude and willingness to make an effort are essential for success in this class and in improving in French.

Techincal problems? Ask early! No excuses! THE USU HONOR SYSTEM: Each student has the right and duty to pursue his or her academic experience free of dishonesty. The Honor System is designed to establish the higher level of conduct expected and required of all Utah State University students. The Honor Pledge: To enhance the learning environment at Utah State University and to develop student academic integrity, each student agrees to the following Honor Pledge: “I pledge, on my honor, to conduct myself with the foremost level of academic integrity.” A student who lives by the Honor Pledge is a student who does more than not cheat, falsify, or plagiarize. A student who lives by the Honor Pledge: Espouses academic integrity as an underlying and essential principle of the Utah State University community; Understands that each act of academic dishonesty devalues every degree that is awarded by this institution; and Is a welcomed and valued member of Utah State University. Plagiarism includes knowingly "representing, by paraphrase or direct quotation, the published or unpublished work of another person as one's own in any academic exercise or activity without full and clear acknowledgment. It also includes the unacknowledged used of materials prepared by another person or agency engaged in the selling of term papers or other academic materials." The penalties for plagiarism are severe. They include warning or reprimand, grade adjustment, probation, suspension, expulsion, withholding of transcripts, denial or revocation of degrees, and referral to psychological counseling. Note: In this FREN 4200 class, this means you may not copy each others’ homework exercises. You may practice reading/sounds together and this practice is encouraged, but nobody may do recordings of their voice for you or complete written homework exercises for you. In French classes, native speakers, friends, family, tutors may not write anything or record for you. Copying off internet is plagiarism. Students with disabilities: The Americans with Disabilities Act states: “Reasonable accommodation will be provided for all persons with disabilities in order to ensure equal participation within the program.” If a student has a disability that will likely require some accommodation by the instructor, the student must contact the instructor and document the disability through the Disability Resource Center (797-2444), preferably during the first week of the course. Any request for special consideration relating to attendance, pedagogy, taking of examinations, etc., must be discussed with and approved by the instructor at the beginning of class.
