Mistake: Exams start at 8!

Hello all, I made a mistake in my previous post. The exams next Friday July 3rd will start at 8 (eight) but we will respect the order as you signed up. Sorry for the confusion. Marina López Casoli

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
