About The Position

This position is for a Regular Part-Time Professor to teach FRA1710 - Analyse, écriture et argumentation I during the Fall 2026 semester. The course involves the lecture and analysis of works from different literary genres and themes relevant to contemporary issues. Students will practice writing through exercises such as summarizing and analytical reports, and address common grammatical errors. This section is delivered in person with a weekly three-hour class session. The course utilizes a 'flipped classroom' approach, promoting active learning by first exposing students to theoretical content through self-directed activities, followed by a structured lecture to clarify and deepen understanding. The course plan, including texts, session structure, and theoretical content, is predetermined. A professor's guide will be available before the session begins. Professors are required to 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 across all sections. Professors are responsible for a portion of the grading (according to established rules), supervising grading done by teaching assistants, and overseeing teaching assistants during exam supervision. Usual tasks include preparing PowerPoints, explanatory documents, answer keys, participating in coordination team discussions, and managing a high volume of emails from students, teaching assistants, the coordinator, and other professors teaching the same course. The course delivery requires strong collaboration skills with the pedagogical team, especially given tight deadlines. Proficiency in or willingness to acquire skills in 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.
