bonjour linguistics

Hey there,
I am a first year student and I believe that I will be enrolling into my subject POST in early April. I was thinking of majoring in both French and Linguistic. Unfortunately, I was not able to enroll in LIN100 or FRE321 (that was the result I got when I’ve completed the french placement test) last year. So…I was thinking of signing up for those courses in summer, but I have no idea of how intense the courses will be or if I will be able to handle the work load. Therefore, I really need your help (opinion?) on whether or not I should take linguistic and french this summer, however I am pretty sure that I will need to take FRE321 and LIN100 first, in order to take other related courses. But then again… I need some clarifications from you guys.
Merci bien!
-CL

Hey CL

Both French and Linguistics are Type 1 subjest POSts meaning you just have to complete 4.0 FCE in order to apply for them. There are multiple French Majors, so maybe check to see which one you want to take.

FRE321 isn’t offered in the summer … and it wasn’t offered in the fall/winter session either. Did you maybe invent a course? FSL221y1 and FRE240Y1 are frequently used as prereqs in the French department.

I think Lin100 would be a great course to take. It is being offered this summer! You might want to take this intro course to see if you like the class enough to take an entire major in it, and then if you like it you have the prereq for all the classes.

Now, the summer courses are the same amount of material in 4 months, jammed into 2 months. So it’s not that the courses are harder, but you just?have more work to do in a shorter period of time. If you plan on not working, or working very little in the summer, I’m sure you’ll be just fine.

forever and?always,
