Message from Pedro

Hello all, Pedro will not be teaching class this Monday June 29. The oral exams have been moved to Friday July 3 respecting the same schedule you had signed up for. Best, Marina López Casoli

Monday Revision Class

Hello all, If you have questions or would like to practice, you can all come next Monday June 29 from 12 to 2pm, right after the makeup exams. Best, Marina López Casoli

Upcoming Classes (Marina and Sofía)

Given that this coming Monday June 22 we will be evaluating students from 10 to 12 and that we may not finish on time, I will be delivering a revision class for both groups at 12 noon (or as soon as we're done) in case you need more practice. Next Friday 26th Sofía will be delivering a revision class herself from 8 to 10 for both groups. Best, Marina López Casoli

LAURA´S LESSONS

Helloooo I hope you´re having a lovely long wkd.... Thanx so much Melany and Florencia for switching to the Thursday group!! Unfortunately, we still need more volunteers as Tuesday and Wednesday really look OVERCROWDED We´ll b spending like 40 minutes a wk (out of two hours) at the lab, so it´s kind of important for everyone to have his/her own booth I appreciate it.. :)

WEDNESDAY CLASS

Hello there! Unfortunately the number of sts who joined this list outnumbers the booths, so if there´s somenone who can switch to Thursday, it would b great... Best!!!! :))

TUESDAY AGAIN...

hi again students, Unfortunately the numbers of students in our groups are not really even, and as there are many booths that do not work, as u probably know, we cannot have 20 sts at the lab on Tuesdays Too many ppl registered for Tuesday, so I would need 4 or 5 volunteer students who wouldn´t mind coming on Wednesday or Thursday Please contact me asap (sordellilaura@gmail.com) thank u!! Laura

TUESDAY STUDENTS

hello students! As we missed last Tuesday and we will also b missing next Tuesday´s class, you may join Thursday´s lesson just for this week, so that u don´t miss the introductory class....(you may even join next week´s lessons as well, I mean Wednesday´s and Thursday´s...) Best, Laura
