M1 EXAM: APRIL 16 (AMPHI GUIZOT FROM 6 to 7:30 pm)

A VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM MY SUPERVISOR, MR RICHARDSON:

10/03/15

Chers étudiants,

Suites à des problèmes personnels, M. NASSOR n'est exceptionnellement plus en mesure d'assurer ses cours d'anglais pour historiens au deuxième semestre.

Tout a été fait pour tenter de le remplacer, mais malheureusement sans succès.

Afin de garantir vos crédits liés à cet enseignement optionnel, vous passerez donc en contrôle terminal ce TD.

Les étudiants de M1 sont convoqués à un devoir sur table d'une heure trente le jeudi 16 avril de 18h à 19h30 en amphi Guizot.

L'évaluation ne visera en rien à vous piéger mais à valoriser des compétences linguistiques déjà acquises en L1, L2, L3 et au premier semestre. Elle prendra la forme d'une série de questions de compréhension d'un article en langue anglaise. Un exemple type est disponible en ligne sur le blog de M. Nassor; ce type d'évaluation avait déjà été donnée au premier semestre.

Pour toute question - importante ! - vous pouvez vous adresser par courriel à M. Richardson, responsable de l'enseignement de l'anglais pour historiens (david.richardson@paris-sorbonne.fr).

En cas d'impossibilité, justifiée, de présence à ce DST terminal, écrivez à M. Richardson, avec les justificatifs d'absence, pour trouver une solution alternative. N'hésitez pas à diffuser toutes ces informations autour de vous à d'autres étudiants concernés.

Nous sommes conscients que cette solution n'est pas idéale, et nous excusons encore au nom de M. NASSOR pour ces circonstances et cet arrangement exceptionnels.

En vous souhaitant bon courage pour le reste de vos enseignements,

Pour l'équipe d'anglais pour historiens,

David Richardson.
