URGENT MESSAGE for GPII Group 4 B2.4

Dear Students,

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the lesson tomorrow (4/12/12) due to a death in the family. 

However we can organise your tutorial this way: 
Please send me an email with a written summary of your self study including:
  • References to extra work done - workbook page numbers, links to websites etc.
  • What you think your strengths and weaknesses are
  • Your progress this term
  • What you think you need to do to improve your level in the future.
When I receive your email I will send you back your results. PLEASE SEND YOUR SUMMARIES TO ME BY 5PM FRIDAY 7TH DECEMBER.

Francesco and Teresa I know that you were going to give your presentations tomorrow but what I will now do is base your speaking grade on the other activities you have done in class. 

I am sorry for any inconvenience, and sorry that I won't get a chance to give you your results and talk about your progress in person.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards
Sean
