Oral Assignment Dates

Monday, September 26, 2016

Dear students,  

The essay topic for the final Language III exam on Wednesday, September 28th, 2016 will be based on A Bit of Singing and Dancing by Susan Hill.

Please read the text very carefully and revise the notes on comparison and/or contrast and on cause-effect analysis. Don´t forget to review the outline layout and the connectors you should use for the different modes of development. You should also review our guidelines on introductory and concluding paragraphs.

Kind regards,

Prof. A. Argerich
