COURS 203 MODULE

LESSON
MONDAY THE 15TH

Je rappelle aux élèves que les panneaux servent à informer les élèves (du moins pour ceux qui recherchent une information fiable).Il était donc indiqué lisiblement que mon absence ne concernait que le matin puisque j'étais dépourvue de salle pour vous accueillir au vue de la reprise de l'ancien emploi du temps.De plus il était indiqué que nous devions reprendre cet ancien emploi du temps et donc que nous avions cours de 16h à 17h. Seul un élève s'est présenté et s'est donc vu attribuer 10 croix de participation.

Pour nous éviter de perdre encore d'avantage de temps,voici donc les réponses aux questions que vous deviez compléter pour jeudi et qui sont à apprendre pour cette même date.De plus le test sur les questions qui devait avoir lieu ce lundi, se déroulera Jeudi.
En l'absence de salle , je me trouve dans l'obligation de vous retrouver en salle A02.
