My absence this week

Dear students,

I am sick and extremely tired, I am not feeling well at all.  As a result, I will not be able to have class this entire week.

I apologise to the Tuesday group for not having been able to inform them in advance.

Everything that was planned for this week is postponed to next week.

See you next week.

Best regards,

MN

Short test on Nov 03 and Nov 05 (Tuesday and Thursday groups)

There will be a short test on Nov 03 (Tuesday group) and on Nov 05 (Thursday group) on:

    * Phrasal verbs (page 1 and 2)
    * Vocabulary (Eastwood's movies and Dog Serial Killer)

Should some of you be absent that day, do provide me with a valid and sincere justification, otherwise, they will get a zero.

Permanent link for documents (audio reports, transcripts, etc.)

Here is the link all L3 students (Tuesday and Thursday groups) will have to use to find the documents (audio reports, phrasal verbs, vocabulary, etc.) used and discussed during the class sessions:

[in case this link does not work, switch to Mozilla/Firefox or to Internet Explorer or email me, I will send the documents and audio reports by email]

2009 - 2010 Hours and Class sessions / Attendance rules

Dear L3 students,

Here are the hours and rules for the English class in L3:

Tuesdays:

• 8 am to 9:30 am in room F366 (Sorbonne)

Thursdays:

• 8 am to 9:30 am in room F366 (Sorbonne)

Attendance is compulsory for those who are in "contrôle continu": if you are absent 3 times (ie 2+1) for unjustified reasons, if you cannot provide me with a valid and sincere justification, you will be automatically registered in "contrôle final".

Those of you who would like to be in "contrôle final", I recommend that you come and talk to me about this at the end or at the beginning of a class or send me an email about this as soon as possible.

In "contrôle continu", in case you fail to be present at one of the two main exam sessions, you will be automatically registered in "contrôle final" even if you have a valid and sincere justification.

In "contrôle continu", if you have no valid and sincere justification for your possible absence for the short tests and quizzes that will also take place during the semester, you will get a zero.

There will be no catch-up session whatsoever, even if you have a valid and sincere justification.

Class will start from October 05 and unlike last year, instead of 13 class sessions, there will only be 12 class sessions for the first semester and 13 sessions for the second semester.

All my students are required to check this website on a regular basis (at least 3 times per week) and before coming to class. All the homework and assignments and exam dates will be repeated on this website. 
 

Best regards,
