1) Pre-requisite for J-Term French Course
Please note that the pre-requisite for the J-Term French class, FLF380 Speaking of Art, is
"permission of instructor"--though, unfortunately, this is not listed in the print copy. If
you have advisees interested in taking this course, please inform them that it entails
learning to give gallery tours, in French, at the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts. Unless
they have a high level of oral proficiency in French, they should not sign up for this
course. If they think they might be qualified, please ask them to contact Dr. Durbin at
ndurbin@lindenwood.edu.
