An exhibition of "ancient pots" |  One of the ways to learn about long-gone civilizations is to put ourselves in the shoes of the people who lived back then, and to experience their technology. This is what the students of History of Ancient civilization did! You can admire their creations in the front entrance and near the reception desk. As they made pottery the "old way", they realized that there was a lot of know-how involved in the production of this important tool.
Pottery was important in ancient societies, where containers made of pottery were used to cook and conserve of food and water while clay was also used for brick-making, for sculpture, as weights for spinning and weaving, and even as a support for ancient scripts.

French test for Anglophones attending l'Université Laval
If you completed all of your schooling in English (primary, secondary and collegial studies), you may ask for the TFI (Test de français international). All students who graduate from an English CEGEP and plan on attending a French university must pass a French test to evaluate their level of French and determine the number of French courses (if required) they will have to complete (usually 1 or 2) in order to obtain their bachelor degree from l'Université Laval. If the French test is not linked to admissions (only certain programs), you may not have to take the test before entering university; however, taking it sooner will give you a better idea of your French level and will allow you to register for a French course right at the beginning of the semester.
If you have already applied, you can ask your Direction de programme to register you to the June 3 test administration date. Expect to pay around $50 to take the test. L'École de langues at l'Université Laval offers the TFI to their students.
Although this test is offered in June and August at l'Université Laval, we would like to determine whether or not it would help students to be able to take the test here on Monday, May 23, 2011. To keep the price as low as the university, we need minimum 3 students who are absolutely sure they will be taking the test. If you are interested, please write to me before April 29 on MIO and tell me in what program you will be studying this fall at l'Université Laval.
For information on the TFI: http://www.etscanada.ca/tfi/index.php
