Prerequisites.
You are enrolled in this class because you have passed FREN 111 at NMSU or an equivalent course at another accredited university or have studied French for a year in high school. If you are not sure whether you are attending the right class, do not hesitate to ask.
Attendance.
Attendance is required. It is acceptable to come late to class as long as it does not become habitual. As this is a 4-credit class, you are allowed 4 unexcused absences. It is your responsibility to cover the materials that you miss. An absence can be excused through proper and adequate documentation, such as a doctor’s note. An Absence will be excused if you are on documented NMSU business (you are still responsible for turning in any assignment before your absence/s). Any absence beyond the first four mentioned above will start dropping your grade: each four additional unexcused absences will drop your grade by one letter grade. Having 10 unexcused absences is an automatic grade of F for the semester. You earn 1(one) point toward your final grade for each class you attend. Excessive unexcused absences may cause you to be dropped from the class.
Withdrawal.
It is your responsibility to know what the last day to drop a class with a “W” is. Further, if you do not perform well enough in this class to receive a passing grade at the end of the semester, it is your responsibility to drop this class by the deadline to withdraw from the class or from the university. If you are concerned about your grade, please ask.
Academic and non-academic misconduct.
Plagiarism is not acceptable. Cheating in all forms is prohibited and may lead to your dismissal from this class.
Remember that all parties involved in the submission of plagiarized or copied work and/or allowing another student to cheat during testing are equally guilty of academic misconduct under all circumstances.
Do not submit work that was done by someone else during a previous semester. Also, do not have someone outside the class do your homework for you (although it is acceptable to ask a tutor to explain something to you!). If you are caught submitting someone else’s work, you will receive one warning. Afterwards, your grade will be dropped by one letter grade. If necessary, this instructor reserves the right to drop you from the class.
For further information on academic misconduct, refer to the following website:

For further information on the definition of plagiarism, refer to the following website:
http://www.lib.nmsu.edu/instruction/plagiarismforstudents.htm.
Cell phones and beepers must be turned off during class and exams.
Incomplete grades.
Incomplete grades may be given only if the student has passed the first half of the course, and is precluded from successful completion of the second half of the course by a documented illness or family crisis that the instructor believes genuinely prevents successful completion of the course.
Midterm grades.
Midterm grades will not be posted. If you want to know what your grade is at midterm, please ask me.
S/U Standards.
The minimum required for an S(atisfactory) grade in this course is a “C-“
Make-up work.
Make-up work (missed exam or other classroom activity) is at the discretion of the instructor. It will not be granted automatically.
Posting of final grades.
Final grades will not be posted. You may access your final grade through the web. This requires that you get a pin number.
Do Not Forget!
1. Your grade is based, in part, on your class participation. Study the material before you come to class and make sure that you can answer questions about all that you have studied up to that day. It is your responsibility to know and get the assigned work prepared when you miss class. Bring both required books to class everyday.
2. Turn in your assignments on time in the format requested.
3. Call or let me know ahead of time (e-mail), if possible, that you will miss class for a justifiable reason.
4. Turn in all work on time. Late work will be graded down unless you provide a valid reason for turning it in your work late. Repeated late work will receive an F grade.
5. The calendar is given to you as an indication of the planned course of study in this class during this upcoming semester. The calendar is subject to change if circumstances so require.
6. Cell phones, beepers and the like must be turned off during class.
7. The student enrolled in this class earns grades. Grades are not given to the student by the instructor. The student earns grades incrementally each week throughout each week of the semester. Grades typically are not dramatically improved during the final two weeks of the semester.
8. You are expected to take notes on materials discussed in class and write down what is written on the board. These notes must be kept in a notebook (not loose paper) and brought to class on exam days (or when requested by this instructor). Failure to bring this notebook to class on exam days will lower your exam grade by 2.5 points. You also must bring your Workbook/Laboratory Manual to class on exam days so I can check your work. Failure to bring this Worbook/Laboratory Manual to class on exam days will also lower your exam grade by 2.5 points.
9. If you cannot attend the Language Learning Center (commonly known as "the lab” in Breland Hall), please bring a 90 minute tape to Breland 171 to have it recorded.
10. Provide a NMSU e-mail address by the 5th day of class.
11. Acknowledge that you have read and understand the contents requirements of this syllabus by sending an e-mail to cfouilla@nmsu.edu stating that you have read and understand the contents and requirements of the syllabus for FREN 112.

Your final grade will be based on the following components:
4 Exams: 400 points
Final exam: 100 points
NMSU e-mail 10 points
Class work/participation 140 points
Quizzes & other testing 100 points
