RLFR 511(F) Intensive Grammar and Translation
Emphasis will be on a thorough and systematic review of sentence structures and grammar. Students will learn to decipher the subtleties of the written language and as they become more confident, they will start translating a variety of short excerpts. Students are also expected to learn and develop a wide lexical range centered on art history and criticism, but not limited to it.
Format: Classes meet twice weekly and are conducted in English. Evaluation will be based on class participation, papers, a midterm and a final examination.
Prerequisites: none. A student may start such course with little knowledge of French but a resolute interest in learning how to read it. Enrollment is open for graduate students in the Master's in Art History Program; undergraduates are welcome, by instructor's permission.
