5 Marist & MOD SPE collaboration Marist College and MOD SPE Paris started their collaboration by organizing short training programs in Paris. Since 2008, the two institutions have explored both the differences and similarities between the French and the American fashion industries. Through the eyes of French professionals, Marist students have discovered the French point of view on fashion and learned more about the Parisian retail scene. Thanks to the success of this program, Marist College and MOD SPE developed their partnership by creating a unique semester opportunity in Paris. The two schools worked together to develop the program content. This guide will let you know the lectures that you are going to attend at MOD SPE, detail the academic calendar, and describe the specificities of your stay. We are all very enthusiast to continue this collaboration and we wish you a very rewarding cultural and educational experience in France. 5

6 Classroom policy Applied to each instructor No active cell phones, Ipods, or Mp3 players, no food during lessons are allowed in class under any circumstances. Students caught texting or surfing the net during class time will be asked to leave the classroom, and counted absent for that meeting time at the discretion of the instructor. Attendance policy: Students arriving more than five minutes past the beginning of class will be considered tardy. Three tardy arrivals are considered equal to one absence. Three absences will result in course failure, at the discretion of the instructor. Students are expected to contact Kristina Mossessyants via prior to missing a class meeting. The student is responsible for all material missed as a result of an absence whether excused or unexcused. In the case of unavoidable excused absences, it is the student s responsibility to make arrangements with the instructor to complete missed work in a timely fashion. In all other cases of absence, instructors are not required to allow students to make up missed work. The final course grade may be reduced to a degree commensurate with any incomplete material. Assignments, Assigned Readings and Exams: Students are expected to complete assigned readings and/or exercises prior to class. When students are familiar with the material the class is more enjoyable, the lecture proceeds quickly and the discussion is informed. All assignments are due at the beginning of the class session. Absence on the day an assignment is due is not an excuse for lateness; in case of absence, the assignment should be ed to the Kristina Mossessyants by midnight of the date due. It is the student's responsibility to find out what occurred during an absence. Late work will not be accepted. 6

7 Exams cannot be made up. If extreme circumstances prevent you from taking an exam, please contact Kristina Mossessyants as soon as possible after the missed exam. All work submitted in this course should be original student work, and all sources of research material must be properly cited in a footnote and/or bibliography. Students are expected to complete their own exams, unaided by notes or other students. Students who do not live up to these standards, will at minimum, fail the assignment or exam.

Syllabi and calendar may change at the instructors discretion. Check for weekly updates. For in-class public presentations with PowerPoints, students are expected to bring presentation-ready content. Delays in presentations due to inability to open a PowerPoint, or PowerPoints with missing visual elements will cause the project grade to be lowered. Avoid penalty be checking your presentation in advance using classroom technology. Policy: Not all French instructors share their addresses with students. Grading Standards Grading / Tests will follow the French system. The French grading system is based on a scale of 20, as opposed to 100 in the US system. It would be inaccurate to merely multiply a French grade by a factor of five to find its U.S. equivalent. Grades in France are awarded on a scale of 1-20, but the tradition is such that grades higher than 16 are seldom awarded. The passing grade for a single subject is usually 10/20 although grades of 8 and 9 can indicate satisfactory performance. Grading in France is particularly stringent. Grades will be converted to American standards by Marist College, prior to transcript distribution following the table here below: 7

24 What should I wear in Paris? Both French men and women wear sophisticated, elegant clothing. In an effort to avoid flashy, loud clothing the French often prefer dark colors and minimalistic patterns for dresses and other garments. Don't over pack with too many outfits. Bring basics that travel well and that you can mix and match. Dress up your outfits with accessories - necklaces, earrings and scarves. Scarves are ubiquitous in Paris - Parisian women know they are a quick and easy way to pull an outfit together. Most French women wouldn t go out of their homes wearing a hoodie and sweatpants if it s not to go for a run. Even to go get a baguette at the bakery, they tend to dress up. At night No athletic shoes and no jeans are the two principal rules in the snooty clubs. If you want to go to a music venue/bar no need to dress up. Comfortable Shoes Paris is a city made for walking and you'll be on your feet more than you can imagine. YOU WILL WALK AROUND ALL THE TIME! Exhibitions, projects, sightseeing just to name few occasion. Don't Worry About Your Hair and Make-Up A bonus about Paris is that you don't need to obsess over your hair and make-up. It seems like a contradiction in terms, but Parisian woman tend to favor the "au naturel" look more than their American counterparts. Hairstyles are more unstructured and air dried. You'll see more long hair pulled back into a casual chignon than elaborately straightened and styled like in the US. Make-up is minimal with an emphasis on glowing skin. Bottom line: Less is more 24
