The objective of this course is to develop students' reading skills in French so that they can fulfill language requirements for graduate work and successfully pursue their professional research interests. Although the course will involve some review of vocabulary (idioms, nuances and subtleties) and grammar, its primary focus will be on comprehension of a wide variety of texts in French through translation and group exercises. This is a non-credit course, graded on a Pass/Fail basis.
