The Language lab is located in DDH/E-102. The available hours and a list of the hours of operation for the Language Lab are limited because of the recent CSU budget cuts that occurred in Fall 2007.

THERE WILL BE NO MID-TERM EXAMINATION. A student's mid-term grade will be determined on the basis of quizzes, participation, and the first oral presentation. Three absences during the 10 week quarter are allowed. Each absence exceeding the three allowed absences will equal -2 points from a student's classroom participation grade for the entire quarter.

GRADING PROCEDURE: The grading system in all French courses is identical to the one described on page 80 of the 2005-2007 CSUB General Catalog. Students will be given letter grades on all their tests - both written and oral; on their written assignments, such as compositions, oral presentation, lab work, and on their final exam.
The letter grades given will be as follows: A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, F
INTEGRITY OF SCHOLARSHIP AND GRADES/ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
The CSUB rules regarding the integrity of scholarship will be strictly enforced. For your information, the rules, as they appear on pages 80-81 of the 2005-2007 Catalog are as follows:
The principles of truth and honesty are recognized as fundamental to a community of teachers and scholars. The University expects that both faculty and students will honor these principles and in so doing protect the validity of University grades. This means that all academic work will be done by the student to whom it is assigned, without unauthorized aid of any kind. Instructors, for their part, will exercise care in the planning and supervision of academic work so that honest effort will be positively encouraged.
Plagiarism, the practice of taking ideas and writings from another and offering them as one's own, is a form of cheating and is unacceptable. It may consist of handing in someone else's work, copying a composition, using ideas, paragraphs, sentences, or phrases written by another or using ideas, data, and statistics compiled by another. This includes rearrangement of phrases from the original into a new pattern. When using ideas, interpretations, or material written or compiled by another, acknowledgment of indebtedness to the original author or source must be made by the use of quotation marks, footnotes or similar references.
A student may not submit a paper (or two papers which are substantially the same) for credit in two different courses unless a prior agreement to accept such work has been made between the instructors involved.
If any instance of academic dishonesty is discovered by an instructor, it is the instructor's responsibility to give a failing grade to the student for the course. In every case, the instructor
should notify in writing the Dean of Students and the dean of the school in which the student is enrolled of the circumstances of the case. In all cases of academic dishonesty, the first offense will result in the student's receiving an "F" in the course and the second offense will result in termination of the student's enrollment at the University.
A student may appeal any sanction employed by the instructor and the University based upon an allegation of academic dishonesty by initiating grievance procedures within no more than fifteen (15) school days (academic year) after notification of the grade is mailed or personally given to the student. Procedures are available in the School deans' offices.
