The Courses
(All courses carry 3 or 4 credits unless otherwise noted. Staffing logistics may necessitate the omission of some of the following courses and the addition of others.) Note on Elementary and Intermediate French: No more than six credits may be earned for any combination of courses at the Elementary level (FRENCHST 110 through 126). Students wishing to study French and who have completed three years of a sequence in this language in Grades 9 through 12 will be placed in FRENCHST 230. Students who meet the above criterion may not normally take FRENCHST 110, 120, or 126 for credit, and must arrange to meet with the department advisor if they wish to do so. Students who believe their abilities warrant credit at a higher level (placement in 240 or above) may establish this by taking a placement exam. 110 Elementary French I 120 Elementary French II 126 Intensive Elementary French 6 cr 230 Intermediate French I Please note that there are four different tracks at the Fourth Semester level. Each track emphasizes different skills: 240 is a Four Skills course designed for students planning to continue beyond the fourth semester level and perhaps major or minor in French. 244-249 offer readings in different fields. 246 is the 6-credit intensive course. Any 240-level course will fulfill the foreign language requirement of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts. 240 Intermediate French II 244 Intermediate French: Fiction 246 Intensive Intermediate French 6 cr 247 Intermediate French: Social Sciences 248 Intermediate French: Math and Science 250 Language and Literature 260 Phonetics and Phonemics 272 Conversation 273 Advanced Conversation 280 Love and Sex in French Culture (AL) 4 cr 285 Language Suite Conversation 290B Knights and Narratives: Medieval French Literature in Translation (AL) 297A Rethinking the Americas 303 Writing on Language 325 Great Works Theater Essays (Taught in Paris) 345 Introduction to Medieval Studies (I) 350 French Film (AT) 4 cr 353 Francophone African and Caribbean Film (ATG) 4 cr 371 Advanced Grammar 384 Themes in French Intellectual and Literary History 386 French Civilization: Origins to 1945 (HS) 387 Contemporary France 388 Francophone Civilization Outside of France 389 Québec Civilization 397P Introduction to Critical and Textual Analysis 401 Literary Movements I 402 Literary Movements II 409 Women in Modern French Society: The Novelist and Her Fictions 411 Introduction to Medieval French Literature 424 Renaissance Prose (AL) 433 French Classicism 1660-1700 441 French Enlightenment 444 18th Century Theater and Novel 455 19th Century Novel 456 Fictions of the Grail in Literature and Film (AL) 465 20th Century Novel 467 20th Century Poetry 469 20th Century Theater 473 Advanced Composition 474 Translation 475 Business French 481 Techniques of Consecutive Interpretation (2nd sem) 482 Techniques of Simultaneous Interpretation (1st sem) 491A Auteur and Film Theory 494SI Senior Seminar 497F French Women Writers 497G Global Markets, Global Culture 497S 17th Century Tragic and Comic Theater 497T Intensive Grammar and Composition (2nd sem) 6 cr 497V Women Writers of Francophone Africa and the Caribbean 511 Introduction to Medieval French Studies 564 Literature of Africa and the Caribbean 572 Basic Methods of Teaching Language (1st sem) 573 Advanced Methods of Teaching Language (2nd sem) 584 French Canadian Literature 590I L’esprit du 17ième siècle 590R Renaissance Lyric: Petrarchan Poetry in Italy and France 597A The Colonial Other 597B Paris in the American Experience |
