DESCRIPTION

FREN 221 est un cours d’introduction aux littératures française et francophone. Il couvre la période du XVIIIème siècle à aujourd’hui. Quoique chronologique, l’approche pourra être également générique ou thématique. Il ne s’agit ni d’un cours de grammaire, ni de conversation. Néanmoins la composition écrite et la participation en classe seront primordiales.

Note about tutors:

Students who employ tutors for remedial work in this course should be aware that departmental policy limits the work of tutors to remedial work and to review of material already covered in class. Tutors should not be asked to comment on or to edit assignments before they are handed in.

Some of this section’s work may involve visits to the French Writing Centre (on a voluntary, optional basis): this is not tuttoring.
