Prerequisites: FREN 1002 or French Placement.

Placement in course: The instructor will evaluate you the first day of class and determine whether FREN 1100 is the appropriate course for you. If the level is judged to be inappropriate, your instructor will recommend a course that meets your needs.

Please note that students who:  are francophone  who were required to take a higher level in their self-assessment result (more than 130) will not be permitted in this course

1. Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, the student is expected to be between B1- B2 levels of the Common European framework of reference for Languages for oral expression and comprehension and between the B1 –B2 levels for reading and writing. As a result they will have developed and improved their listening, speaking, reading and writing proficiency skills in French, their cultural knowledge and should be ready to take the next language course (FREN 2100 Advanced French) or any one of the 2100 level French courses. 2

7. Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities The Paul Menton Centre for Students with Disabilities (PMC) provides services to students with Learning Disabilities (LD), psychiatric/mental health disabilities, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), chronic medical conditions, and impairments in mobility, hearing, and vision. If you have a disability requiring academic accommodations in this course, please contact PMC at 613-520-6608 or [email protected] for a formal evaluation. If you are already registered with the PMC, contact your PMC coordinator to send me your Letter of Accommodation at the beginning of the term, and no later than two weeks before the first in-class scheduled test or exam requiring accommodation (if applicable). After requesting accommodation from PMC, meet with me to ensure accommodation arrangements are made. Please consult the PMC website for the deadline to request accommodations for the formally-scheduled exam (if applicable). 5

8. For Religious Observance: Students requesting academic accommodation on the basis of religious observance should make a formal, written request to their instructors for alternate dates and/or means of satisfying academic requirements. Such requests should be made during the first two weeks of class, or as soon as possible after the need for accommodation is known to exist, but no later than two weeks before the compulsory academic event. Accommodation is to be worked out directly and on an individual basis between the student and the instructor(s) involved. Instructors will make accommodations in a way that avoids academic disadvantage to the student. Students or instructors who have questions or want to confirm accommodation eligibility of a religious event or practice may refer to the Equity Services website for a list of holy days and Carleton’s Academic Accommodation policies, or may contact an Equity Services Advisor in the Equity Services Department for assistance.

9. For Pregnancy: Pregnant students requiring academic accommodations are encouraged to contact an Equity Advisor in Equity Services to complete a letter of accommodation. The student must then make an appointment to discuss her needs with the instructor at least two weeks prior to the first academic event in which it is anticipated the accommodation will be required.

10. . Plagiarism The University Senate defines plagiarism as "presenting, whether intentional or not, the ideas, expression of ideas or work of others as one's own." This can include: * reproducing or paraphrasing portions of someone else's published or unpublished material, regardless of the source, and presenting these as one's own without proper citation or reference to the original source; * submitting a take-home examination, essay, laboratory report or other assignment written, in whole or in part, by someone else; * using ideas or direct, verbatim quotations, or paraphrased material, concepts, or ideas without appropriate acknowledgment in any academic assignment; * using another's data or research findings; * failing to acknowledge sources through the use of proper citations when using another's works and/or failing to use quotation marks; * handing in "substantially the same piece of work for academic credit more than once without prior written permission of the course instructor in which the submission occurs." Plagiarism is a serious offence which cannot be resolved directly with the course's instructor. The Associate Deans of the Faculty conduct a rigorous investigation, including an interview with the student, when an instructor suspects a piece of work has been plagiarized. Penalties are not trivial. They include a mark of zero for the plagiarized work or a final grade of "F" for the course. Plagiarism in a language course is committed: 1. if you were to hand in someone else’s paper  turning in under your name a piece of work that was written by another person, either with or without that person’s consent  turning it under your name a paper obtained from a website, or another source 2. Plagiarism can also involve the way you write your paper  taking information from a source without acknowledging where it came from  using the exact words of one of your sources (books, articles, websites) without putting these in quotation marks, even if you do put in a reference to where they came from 6

Be aware that in languages courses, the following are considered to be acts of plagiarism:  copying from any source (paper or electronic) including online translators  paraphrasing from any source (paper or electronic) including online translators, without quotation mark and or appropriate referencing  having someone else compose all or parts of your assignment  passing off someone else” oral or written assignment/presentation as your own Please consult the following sites to help you understand the consequences of and to avoid plagiarism: http:www4.carleton.ca/calendars//ugrad/current/regulations/acadregsuniv14.html http://www.library.carleton.ca/help/avoid-plagiarism

10. Academic Accommodations You may need special arrangements to meet your academic obligations during the term because of disability, pregnancy or religious obligations. Please review the course outline promptly and write to me with any requests for academic accommodation during the first two weeks of class, or as soon as possible after the need for accommodation is known to exist. Students with disabilities requiring academic accommodations in this course must register with the Paul Menton Centre for Students with Disabilities (PMC) for a formal evaluation of disability- related needs. Documented disabilities could include but are not limited to mobility/physical impairments, specific Learning Disabilities (LD), psychiatric/psychological disabilities, sensory disabilities, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and chronic medical conditions. Registered PMC students are required to contact the PMC, 613-520-6608, every term to ensure that your Instructor receives your Letter of Accommodation, no later than two weeks before the first assignment is due or the first in-class test/midterm requiring accommodations. If you only require accommodations for your formally scheduled exam(s) in this course, please submit your request for accommodations to PMC by the last official day to withdraw from classes in each term.
