LAST EXAM DATES (December 2010 and January 2011)

Dear students, 

Students in "contrôle continu":

There will be a short vocab test next week (December 14 (Tuesday) and December 16 (Thursday)), depending on the group you belong to. It will be based on the vocabulary from the following audio reports: 
- High Fuel Prices
- Moscow's Homeless People
- Eastwood's Movies 
There will be a second vocab test on January 11 (Tuesday) and 13 (Thursday) ie during  the last week of the first semester. It will be based on the vocabulary from the following audio reports: 
- High Fuel Prices
- Moscow's Homeless People
- Eastwood's Movies 
+ Phrasal verbs: the entire handout

On January 04 (Tuesday) or January  06 (Thursday) - depending on the group you belong to - your second main exam will take place for those of you who are in "contrôle continu". 

Students in "contrôle final": the dates, the hours, the rooms and the program of revisions for the "contrôle final"  are the same for those of you who are in "contrôle continu".

You are not allowed to switch groups without informing me and without a valid and sincere justification: I will remove up to 10 points if you switch groups without my explicit and prior agreement to do so.

REVISION PROGRAM FOR ALL STUDENTS (this is the second main for students in "contrôle continu") and the "contrôle final" (for those students who are in "contrôle final").

This second main exam (or "contrôle final" depending on your status) will take place on JANUARY 04  (Tuesday) or JANUARY 06 (Thursday) depending of the group you belong to:
1/ Vocabulary and Listening Comprehension:
- High Fuel Prices
- Moscow's Homeless People
- Eastwood's Movies 
2/ Idioms: ARM / HEAD / EYE / FISH / LEG / FOOT / BEAN / HAIR / EGG

3/ Phrasal verbs: the entire handout

4/ Grammar: from chapter 1 up to chapter 10 included from your textbook (English Grammar in Use by Raymond Murphy)

THERE WILL BE NO CATCH-UP SESSION WHATSOEVER EVEN IF YOU HAVE A VALID AND SINCERE JUSTIFICATION FOR YOUR POSSIBLE ABSENCE IN JANUARY. 

AS PER THE RULES OF THE UNIVERSITY, A ZERO MARK/GRADE IN CASE OF ABSENCE AT ONE (OR ALL) OF THESE EXAMS IS THE ONLY OPTION I (REGRETFULLY) HAVE.

3/ Reminder for those students who are in "contrôle continu": they must provide me with all the exercises from a chapter of their choice in case they are absent, otherwise they will get a zero mark (for each absence without a chapter of exercises) which will be added to all your semester grades.

HERE IS AGAIN THE LINK TO HAVE ACCESS TO ALL THE DOCUMENTS USED DURING THE SEMESTER:

MESSAGE FOR THE THURSDAY GROUP

Dear students (the Thursday group),

There will be no test tomorrow (Nov 18) but the following week (Nov 25).

Best regards,

Message for the Thursday class / My absence today (October 21) / Homework for November 04

Dear L3 students  (the Thursday group), 

Though I tried very hard this morning (from 6 to 8 am...!), I was not able to get into a train on the line B of the RER which was VERY disrupted this morning. When I finally "managed" to get into a PACKED train and arrived at Gare du Nord, it was already 8:40 am. By the time I would arrive at CNAM, many of you would have left and the class could not last more than 30 minutes. As a result, today's class is cancelled and this is the homework I would like you to prepare for our next class which hopefully will take place on November 04.

Homework for November 04:

1/ Audio report: "Moscow's Homeless People"
- listen carefully and several times 
- fill in the gaps 
- check the vocabulary (use the online dictionaries to work fast and efficiently, not paper-based dictionaries)
- start learning the vocabulary
2/ Grammar
- do the execise # 3 up from each unit up to unit 16 (the entire handout)
- read carefully the explanations on these units/chapters from your grammar textbook (English Grammar in Use (intermediate level) by R. Murphy)
3/ Idioms: Fish / Leg / Foot (this was for today)
- watch these videos from the BBC's website
- you should be able to explain in English the general meaning of the idiom
- you should be able to explain in English the context/example used by "the teacher" to explain the idiom discussed
- try to find an equivalent translation in French
- learn both the French and English versions of the idioms
4/ Phrasal Verbs
- page 1 and 2 (you will be able to find this handout from the link you use to reach the other documents - see previous post)
- in order to do these exercises and to work fast and efficiently, use the specialized links on phrasal verbs indicated on a previous post
- start learning these phrasal verbs
My apologies again for my absence this morning. 

Best regards, 

MN
