L3 EXAM: APRIL 14 (AMPHI MILNE EDWARDS FROM 8:30 to 10 am)

A VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM MY SUPERVISOR, MR RICHARDSON:

10/03/15

Chers étudiants,

Suites à des problèmes personnels, M. NASSOR n'est exceptionnellement plus en mesure d'assurer ses cours d'anglais pour historiens au deuxième semestre.

Tout a été fait pour tenter de le remplacer, mais malheureusement sans succès.

Afin de garantir vos crédits liés à cet enseignement optionnel, vous passerez donc en contrôle terminal ce TD.

Les étudiants de L3 sont donc convoqués à un devoir sur table d'une heure trente le mardi 14 avril de 8h30 à 10h en amphi Milne Edwards.

L'évaluation ne visera en rien à vous piéger mais à valoriser des compétences linguistiques déjà acquises en L1, L2 et au premier semestre. Elle prendra la forme d'une série de questions de compréhension d'un article en langue anglaise. Un exemple type est disponible en ligne sur le blog de M. Nassor; ce type d'évaluation avait déjà été donnée au premier semestre.

Pour toute question - importante ! - vous pouvez vous adresser par courriel à M. Richardson, responsable de l'enseignement de l'anglais pour historiens (david.richardson@paris-sorbonne.fr).

En cas d'impossibilité, justifiée, de présence à ce DST terminal, écrivez à M. Richardson, avec les justificatifs d'absence, pour trouver une solution alternative. N'hésitez pas à diffuser toutes ces informations autour de vous à d'autres étudiants concernés.

Nous sommes conscients que cette solution n'est pas idéale, et nous excusons encore au nom de M. NASSOR pour ces circonstances et cet arrangement exceptionnels.

En vous souhaitant bon courage pour le reste de vos enseignements,

Pour l'équipe d'anglais pour historiens,

David Richardson.

Dec 11 and Dec 18 exams: Amphi Milne Edwards

Dear L3  students,

Due to my absences, we were unfortunately not been able to do much this semester. As a result, for your Second Main Exam on December 11, you will (only) have 3 reading comprehension texts with questions like the one you had on "Swarm Theory" or "Akrotiri": there will be no vocabulary, no phrasal verbs, nothing else apart these three texts with questions.

Your second short test the following week on December 18 will also only consist in a reading comprehension text with questions. I will then try to return all your papers and their corrections. 

Best regards, 

MN

HOMEWORK FOR NOVEMBER 06 (REMINDER) / ATTENDANCE RULES / CATCH-UP SESSIONS (REMINDERS)

HOMEWORK FOR NOV 06:

1/ Origins of Languages: Questions and Vocabulary (start learning it as the vocabulary will be included on your First Main Exam the following week ie November 13):

2/ Test 3 and vocabulary

See the "CLOUD" for extra exercises and other handouts if you have lost some of them or if you were absent the previous class session(s).

ATTENDANCE RULES - CATCH-UP SESSIONS:

(REMINDERS)

- Attendance is compulsory: unlike in L2 and in M1, there is no "contrôle final" in L3 because the English course is optional in L3. Should the students be absent 3 times (ie 2 + 1) without providing a valid and sincere justification, their semester grade will be impacted by - 30% (example: if a student's semester grade is 10/20 and is absent 3 times without justification, their grade will be: 10 x (-30%) = 07/20.

If you do not have a valid and sincere justification for your possible absence for the short tests and  short quizzes that will also take place during the semester, you will get a zero mark.  

- There will be no catch-up session whatsoever if you miss any of the exams.
