 * Objectives of Tech Lab: ** The intended learning outcome is for students to be able to learn different techniques with online research as well as “hard copy” research which is books, newspaper articles, encyclopedias, journals, magazines, etc. The students will then be asked to use this information for later work with their final project. Another objective is for the students to compare and contrast cultures, not only the United States and their Francophone country of choice, but also between the different Francophone cultures.
