About The Position

This position is for a Regular Part-Time Professor to teach Analyse, écriture et argumentation II (FRA1720 Section H) during the 2027 Winter Semester in the Faculty of Arts, Department of French. The course focuses on deepening university-level writing skills, covering all stages from idea generation to style correction. It involves numerous exercises based on texts to enhance analysis, structuring, argumentation, and writing abilities. This section is delivered in person, with a three-hour weekly class session, though part of the course content is available on Brightspace. The course utilizes a 'flipped classroom' pedagogy, promoting active learning by first exposing students to theoretical content through self-study activities, followed by a structured lecture to clarify and deepen concepts. The course plan, including texts, session structure, and theoretical content, is predetermined. A professor's guide will be available before the session begins. Professors teaching this course must use the Brightspace 'toolkit' developed by the Department and SAEA, and adhere to all points in the Guide for Faculty to ensure uniformity in evaluations and strict adherence to the established schedule for all sections. Professors are responsible for a portion of the grading (according to established rules), overseeing grading by teaching assistants, and supervising teaching assistants during exam proctoring. Professors will also undertake usual tasks such as preparing PowerPoints, explanatory documents, answer keys, participating in coordination team discussions, and managing a high volume of emails. The course requires strong collaboration skills with the pedagogical team, especially given tight deadlines. Proficiency in or willingness to learn preferred communication and teaching tools (TEAMS, Microsoft Outlook, ZOOM, Brightspace, EXCEL, etc.) is necessary. Professors must be on-site as the course is delivered in person.
