tigryonak Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Does anyone know what exactly the papers and the IA in French ab initio are going to be like? We haven't gone in depth in class over this. We've only breezed over the topic of the exams, but we've been focusing on actually learning French. I've been able to write about a page in French before I just blank over what to say next so length isn't gonna be a huge issue I think. Does anyone know what the exams are like though? And the IA?

King112 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 is it possible to fail french ab initio because of a bad oral?Yes, if you mess up everything else as well.The orals makes up around 25% of your grade, but if you do well on the rest of the stuff, you can make it through.Cheers,King112 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dikshita29 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 So if i do well in my finals and manage to do decently well in my WA, will I be able to get a 6? is it possible to fail french ab initio because of a bad oral?Yes, if you mess up everything else as well.The orals makes up around 25% of your grade, but if you do well on the rest of the stuff, you can make it through.Cheers,King112 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King112 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 A 6 may be difficult. Depends on how badly you did in your orals. I guess a 7 in your WA should help.Also, when you quote, write below the text and don't post twice.Cheers,King112 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really have no idea what the assessments for French ab initio are. I just assume there's some writing here, a little talking there, some reading, etc. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really have no idea what the assessments for French ab initio are. I just assume there's some writing here, a little talking there, some reading, etc. The assessments are as follow:a) Paper 1: Reading comprehension. Answer questions based on the passagesb) Paper 2: Writing. Write a letter, advertisement etc.c) Written Assignment (WA): Compare and contrast your culture and French culture on one specific aspect.d) Orals: Picture description, questions on your written assignment, and general conversation.That's it.Cheers,King112 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
