FRE 1121 Talk Abroad Self-Evaluation

Excusez mon anglais!

On this assignment, you get 50/100 for completing the conversation, and up to 50/100 for the
self-evaluation (this document).
Once you submit your self-evaluation (see below), it will be graded out of 50 points, and those
points will be added to the 50 for having completed the conversation.
In other words, if you only complete the conversation by the due date, you will get a score of
50/100.
If you complete the conversation and get a score of 38 on the self-evaluation (and submit the
self-eval by the due date), you will get a total score on the assignment of 50 + 38 = 88.
Merci!
