This multimedia course combines film and print to teach French language and culture as complementary facets of a single reality. It puts you in the presence of authentic, unsimplified French and trains you to use it in the dynamic context of actual communication. A complete, carefully sequenced course, it involves you actively in your own learning and emphasizes communicative proficiency--not the study of rules and regulations, but the development of skills, self-expression, and cultural insight. FREN111 is the third semester of the four-semester introductory and intermediate French language sequence.

Among other topics, we will discuss the conditions that appear to make confession a masculine rather than a feminine undertaking.

Lasting from 1945-1991, the Cold War was a seminar era in world history with a major impact on the study and conduct of international relations. The world we live in today is greatly shaped by the experience of the Cold War. Many of the issues and topics that preoccupy the world today, from Afghanistan to the uprisings in the Middle East, the political unification on Europe, and the dominance of the USA, were all greatly influenced by the Cold War. This course will provide students with an understanding of the origins, evolution, and end of the Cold War.
