FREN 430 - French Capstone Experience I
The French capstone consists of a sequence of two courses, FREN 430 and FREN 435 - French Capstone Experience II , taken during the last two semesters of study at Truman. This sequence of courses is intended as a culminating experience in which the student demonstrates skills and knowledge garnered from his or her experience within the French program. Each course consists of a one hour seminar team-taught by the French faculty, and individual mentoring sessions with a supervisor chosen by the student. The individual mentor supervises the capstone project and assigns the grade. Students select a supervisor from the French faculty; override permission is required.
The student consults with the faculty supervisor on project conception and meets with the supervisor on a regular basis throughout the semester. Typically the project consists of a research paper or a translation, or other project (as approved by the French Faculty) in which case a written report of the project must be submitted. An interdisciplinary study may be done in consultation with a French faculty member and faculty from outside the French program. All papers must be written in French and must use primary sources in French, except for translation projects. FREN 430 is required for French majors in the fall semester of their final year.
