Dear students,
1/ The vocab test scheduled for next week is postponed to the following week (March 31 and April 02).
2/ In case the rooms remain closed, come and see me in room Chastagnol. I will try to have to the Boutruche Library again if it is possible and available.
3/ Some of you might have noticed that at the end of our class last Tuesday in the Boutruche Library, Mrs Crouzet-Pavan got (very) angry at me because I was using this room for my students even if it was not occupied by other instructors of the History department...! I was not using it illegally but because the administration had given me the key. Needless to add that I did report this "incident" to the staff of the History department and to our director, Professor Luc, that this behaviour was very unfriendly and unacceptable considering the circumstances and the extreme difficulty of finding places and rooms to have a "normal" class.
From next week, Mrs Crouzet-Pavan has decided that she would not allow us to have class there anymore even if the room is NOT occupied by other instructors and professors. I hope you will email Mr Luc and Mr Romanacce (make a copy for me) to express your strong disagreement and strong opposition to that very unfair and unfriendly decision by Mrs Crouzet-Pavan alone.
If I do not have the support of the students to have access to that room, we will never get this room again so it is VERY important that you write to Professors Luc and Romanacce about this and ask them to make this room available for us, specially and particularly when it is available and not used by other instructors and professors at the same time.
4/ Thursday group: I did come this morning (March 19), the Sorbonne is open and "easy" to get into but there only was one student and I had booked the Boutruche library...but as I said earlier, we may not have this room anymore...
5/ Here is the link to the next report: Cartoons Coverage, the handouts will be distributed to the Tuesday group next Tuesday, but you can still start working on it in the meantime (listening, vocabulary, 5 questions, etc.):
