When are tutorials?
Tutorials are every afternoon until 4:00 or 4:15, except on Monday, duty day.
I am not able to see students in the morning, because I teach a zero hour,
starting at 7:20.
Do you give extra credit?
Extra credit is called connections. To earn connection points, students
should write about things they have experienced in their personal lives that
are related to the French culture. For example, if a student cooks omelets
at home, or receives postcards from their grandparents in France, or goes to
the performance of Les Miserables, or reads the back of their shampoo bottle
and discovers French writing...these things count as one connection point
each. They need 10 connection points to earn 100 percent, added to the grade
average.
When are progress reports sent?
Progress reports are given on the Thursday of the week they were posted.

Do French students have homework?
They must always study what was introduced in class for the next class
period's quiz. It's really not all about the tests, it's about learning the
language through repetition.
