Course Description: A study of a number of literary texts and films from across the
spectrum of the Francophone world – in this case North Africa. Through these texts
and films we will study the diversity of the French colonial empire as well as the
different historical, political and cultural effects of colonialism and postcolonialism.
Films, videos, Internet sites will be used.
Course Objectives: Students will:
• Improve their linguistic skills in reading, writing, and speaking French.
• Become familiar with some of the major authors of North Africain
Francophone literature.
• Understand the problems of identity, language and politics inherent in the
colonial and postcolonial situation.
• Engage in research on the history and culture of the twentieth‐century
Francophone world by using materials in the library and on the internet.
• Learn to write undergraduate and graduate level critical, analytical, and
research papers in French.
In addition graduates will:
-Learn and apply various critical approaches to the understanding of
Francophone literature and cinema, including the critique of
research papers and theoretical articles published in scholarly journals
dealing with Francophone issues.
-Develop classroom strategies for the teaching of Francophone literature,
cinema and culture.
La presence au cours et la participation active sont obligatoires. Si vous devez manquer
envoyez-moi un courriel pour me prévenir. Apportez-moi une note explicative à la séance
suivante. Sans cette note votre absence aura des consequences sur votre note finale.
Autrement dit: Attendance is required and will be taken daily. You are allowed two absences
before your grade suffers for each additional absence. Each absence over two will reduce
your class participation grade by one grade (from A to A-, from B+ to B, etc.) Beyond
two absences, you will need a written excuse to be accepted at my discretion ( in case of
illness, injury, death or illness in the family, university duties, court attendance or religious
observance.) This policy is based upon NC State Attendance Policy. Save your absences for
emergencies. More than 5 absences may lead to an F. Students who sleep in class will be
counted as absent as will those who come to class more than 10 minutes late but I
encourage you to still attend the class so as not to miss discussions of the material. If you
miss class you will be expected to be prepared for the next class; contact a classmate for
information on the missed material and any assignments.
Please note that it is absolutely essential to come well prepared to class and to
participate actively.
3.
Course Format and Requirements :
Class sessions will be comprised of a mixture of lectures and discussions of the texts. Policy
on late assignments: All missed work must be made up within a reasonable time.
Assignments handed in late may receive lower grades: one day late = one grade lower, two
days late = 2 grades lower, etc. Exception: Pre-approved or approved late submission or
lateness with an excused absence. I strongly encourage you to communicate with me about
any problems you are having. I work with my students to help them catch up and getting
them on track again, if there are valid reasons beyond their control for having missed
assignments.
Make sure to read ahead of the material assigned on weekends since from Tue. to Thur. you
have only two days in which to read material. In class be sure to take notes on the
discussions.
Participation: Based on active participation in class discussions. Whenever the syllabus
includes a particular assignment besides reading, you are to prepare that assignment in
written form (typewritten with your name and the date). I will sometimes collect the work
and give a grade based on the effort made to complete the assignment - it does not have to be
correct but has to give evidence of serious thought. The grade will be part of the participation
grade
Papers: Use a separate “title” page (Instead of a title write out the topic you have chosen
to deal with and center it) In the right hand bottom corner provide your name, the name of
the course, your instructors name and the date), 1” margins on all sides, 12pt. font, doublespaced, with page numbers. Pay attention to good organization and logical transitions
between paragraphs and sentences. Justify your arguments by references to the texts you are
dealing with, give concrete examples, and avoid vague impressions. Do not use excessively
long quotations to fill up the pages. If you use rephrasing of ideas or direct quotes from any
written source, you need to document your sources to give proper credit to someone else’s
ideas -- otherwise you violate academic integrity and commit plagiarism (see below for
policy) Do not make someone else’s ideas the major focus of your paper. For the format of
footnotes and bibliography, if you use them, refer to the MLA Style Manual (available in
bookstore, library or on-line).
Grading Scale:
A+ = 98-100 B+ = 87-89 C+ = 77-79 D+ = 67-69 F = below 60
A = 93-97 B = 83-86 C = 73-76 D = 63-66
A- = 90-92 B- = 80-82 C- = 70-73 D- = 60-62
Participation Grading:
A = You are well-prepared, often w/written notes, and participate actively; you are attentive,
respond when called upon and volunteer often w/pertinent questions and comments.
B = You are usually prepared, sometimes w/written notes, and always respond when called
on; you volunteer on occasion.
C = You show evidence of being unprepared; you have some trouble when called on and do
not volunteer often.
D = You are unprepared and/or inattentive; you never volunteer; you come to class late
and/or leave early.
F = You exhibit a lack of concern for the class; you sleep in class; your behavior may have a
negative effect on the class.
Disability Policy: Reasonable accommodations will be made for students with verifiable
disabilities. In order to take advantage of available accommodations students must register
with Disability Services for Students at 1900 Student Health Center, Campus Box 7509, 5157653, http://www.ncsu.edu/provost/offices/affirm_action/dss/.
Academic Integrity Policy: Human interaction and effective communication function on the
basis of trust. An atmosphere of trust, honesty and respect for others fosters educational
progress and success. Please do not give me any reason to be suspicious of your honesty. You
are to do your own work on all class assignments, presentations, projects, and exams, unless
it is a designated pair or group assignment. That also means not incorporating others’ ideas
and presenting them as your own -- this is called plagiarism. Whether you take ideas
(verbatim or just as an idea) from books, the internet or other sources does not matter; you
need to acknowledge their source if they are not your own. The NC State library has a
Plagiarism Tutorial at: http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/scc/tutorial/plagiarism/index.html
Please ask me about anything that remains unclear. Violations of academic integrity
(plagiarism, cheating, etc. ) will be prosecuted according to NC State’s policy on academic
integrity, posted at
