About The Position

This position is for a Regular Part-Time Professor to teach Analyse, écriture et argumentation II (FRA1720 Section G) 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 to enhance analysis, structuring, argumentation, and writing abilities, based on provided texts. This section is delivered in person, with a three-hour weekly class session, and utilizes a "flipped classroom" pedagogical approach. Students are first exposed to theoretical content through self-directed 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 adherence to the established schedule across all sections. Professors are responsible for a portion of the grading (according to established rules), overseeing grading done by teaching assistants, and supervising teaching assistants during exam proctoring. Usual tasks include preparing PowerPoints, explanatory documents, answer keys, participating in coordination team discussions, and managing a high volume of emails. The role requires strong collaboration skills with the pedagogical team, especially given potentially tight deadlines. Proficiency with or willingness to learn communication and teaching tools such as TEAMS, Microsoft Outlook, ZOOM, Brightspace, and EXCEL is necessary. Professors must be on-site as the course is delivered in person.
