Third-year Conversation Fr I · French
I learned more vocabulary and about current events in France.
I learned a lot of idiomatic expressions, about French culture (gastronomy, film, history), and how to correctly express myself in French
Extra hwk per grammar mistake (a bit third reich of him)
One paper; one ten minute presentation; and one final interview that was about two to ten minutes long.
The assignments for this class are two presentations: one on whatever you would like and one on something related to current events. Every class one or two students present and then the rest of the class is usually questions about that topic that Professor Borer thinks about on the spot. Professor Borer seems to be knowledgeable about everything so it is usually pretty interesting. Additionally, there are supposed to be three vocab quizzes, but she dropped one for our class. I spent no time working for this class except for preparing for the presentations which maybe took an hour and a half each.
not much, but the torture of seeing her twice a week made it worse
1 presentation and 1 revue de presse. 1 vocab/grammar quiz.
mandatory attendance and one or two [fun] presentations to the class
2 presentations on topic of your choice. Other than that, short readings and assignments. I think that more work actually would have been helpful.
1 voice recording every two weeks, just reading a passage she gave us (completion grade, as far as we could tell) 2 oral presentations, 15-20 minutes on a topic of your choice (20% each) Very short homework grammar exercises every few weeks
