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

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]

Attendance rules

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.

 

All my students are required to check this website on a regular basis (at least twice a week) and before coming to class. 

 

Best regards,

Mounir Nassor

Arte documentary "Au temps du Mayflower" by Chris Eyre

There is a very interesting documentary that was recently broadcast by Arte called "Au Temps du Mayfloyer" by Chris Eyre: it will remain available and free to be watched again only until February 13 on Arte's website from this link:

http://plus7.arte.tv/fr/1697660,CmC=3048212,scheduleId=3027260.html

Here is a summary taken from Arte's website:

En mars 1621, dans ce qui deviendra le sud-est du Massachusetts, le grand sachem de la tribu des Wampanoag, Massasoit, décide de négocier avec un groupe de colons anglais en déroute. Comme ces immigrants en proie à la faim et la maladie, son peuple a un besoin urgent d'alliés, car il a été décimé par une épidémie inconnue, ce qui le rend vulnérable aux attaques de ses voisins Narragansett. Une réelle amitié va se nouer entre le chef indien et l'un des leaders de la communauté anglaise, Charles Winslow. Cinquante ans plus tard, le fils de Massasoit, Phillip, voit le territoire de ses ancêtres diminuer comme peau de chagrin. Il parvient à unifier les tribus voisines pour mener la guerre aux Blancs, remportant d'abord une série de victoires. Mais en 1676, le jeune chef est vaincu. Sa tête, fichée sur une pique, restera exhibée pour l'exemple à Plymouth. Cinq mille Indiens sont tués, tandis que femmes et enfants sont vendus comme esclaves.

Second semester class from Feb 08

Dear students,

As I have fully recovered from my sickness, I will resume my normal hours for the second semester (same hours and same rooms) from February 08.

Best regards,

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,

MN

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,

MN

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,
