My absence until Nov 22

Dear students,

As a result of my sickness, I will be absent until Nov 22.

In case my sick leave is prolonged, check the sign boards at the History department. As I could be hospitalised some time soon, I may not be able to update this website before Nov 22 or to respond to your emails.

In the meantime, keep working on your English as much as you can (grammar, listening comprehension, vocabulary, etc.).

I again sincerely apologise for this very unexpected and very unfortunate absence.

Best regards,

My absence this second week (Nov 09 to Nov 15)

Dear students,

As a result of my being sick and since I have not recovered, I will not be able to have class this second week again.

I apologise for my absence but it is completely involuntary.

Everything that was planned for this week is postponed to next week. Can you continue working on the grammar exercises and continue listening to audio reports in English from the websites I had indicated?

Hopefully, see you next week on Tuesday (Nov 17) and on Thursday (Nov 19).

Best regards,

See you next week.

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:

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,

Mounir Nassor
