Since French 875 is a discussion class, regular attendance, thorough preparation and active participation are essential. Please arrive on time and plan to stay until the end of class. If the number of unexcused absences exceeds two, the student’s final participation grade will be lowered ten points for each absence. Students who know they cannot attend class on a given day should be sure to give the instructor advance notice. Furthermore, students who have missed class are responsible for contacting a classmate to find out what was covered and what homework was assigned (phone/e-mail lists will be distributed early in the semester for this purpose; homework will also be posted the day after class on WebCT). Please DO NOT SKIP CLASS or come late just because an assignment is not ready!!! If you are having exceptional difficulties completing it (computer problems, no time to proofread, etc.) AND you notify me of this in class, you may put it under my office door the day after it is due. I do not accept assignments sent as e-mail attachments.

Written work for the course must be word-processed, double-spaced, computer spell-checked, and thoroughly proofread. Programs with French accents and French spell-checkers are available at the Foreign Language Media Center, in the basement of Jastak-Burgess Hall. Do not depend solely upon grammar-checkers, or even the required spell-checker, as they can be unreliable.  No credit will be given for work that has not been carefully proofread.

Since e-mail will be used for course announcements, all students are required to activate their university e-mail accounts if they have not already done so, and to check their mail regularly. If you do not normally use your udel.edu address, please arrange to have your university mail forwarded to the account you are using.

IMPORTANT:  In accordance with University and departmental policy, academic dishonesty including plagiarism will result in an F for the course and a permanent stain on your academic record.  In your writing, it is absolutely essential that you make it clear where your ideas end and those of another author begin.  I have strict guidelines for peer-editing: please check with me before asking someone else to correct your work.  The use of online translators for anything beyond an occasional word or two constitutes plagiarism and is strictly prohibited: use your dictionary.  If you have any questions about documenting your sources, including online sources, please consult the MLA guidelines (available at http://www.english.udel.edu/wc/handouts/), and see me with any questions.
