Dear students,  

The essay topic for the final Language III exam on Wednesday, November 30^th, 2016 will be based on The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. You should work on the effects of Charlie´s favourite aunt’s sexual abuse on him. Please read the text very carefully and visit our post on Sunday, April 10th, 2016, to review the ppp on cause-effect analysis.

For students who attended the course in 2015 or 2014, the essay topic will be mainly based on Chapter 6 of The Namesake, by Jumpa Lahiri. These students should review our notes on the comparison and contrast mode of development.

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

List of students who have to give the Language III colloquia on November 16, 2016

Dear students,

This is a message for the students who have to give the colloquia on Wednesday, November 16th, 2016. In case some of you are not sure about your condition, I'm attaching an incomplete list since the situation of two students is still under consideration.

We would like to ask the students on this list to let us know if they have any exams on Wednesday, and at what time they will be available for the colloquia. Please contact us as soon as you know. You may contact us through the TA Emi Daneri.

Please talk to Felix Cramer about your oral presentation (topic, organization of the presentation, sources, among other aspects). You can check his new office hour schedule on my previous post on this blog. You will see that tomorrow he has office hours from 9am to 1 pm and from 2pm to 4pm. 

If you have any doubts regarding the colloquia, please come and talk to us in our office hours. 

We will soon let you know where we will meet on Wednesday or we´ll leave a note at Room 226.

Kind regards,

Amparo Argerich

Office Hours Updated November 14th 2016

Dear students,

We have left most of your mid-term tests in the box at the CELE office. Here I am attaching a document with the results. We have kept a few of your exams to reconsider the results. We will upload Ms Civit´s results tomorrow.

We would also like to tell you that the make-up exam will be an essay and not a questionnaire. The method of development you’ll be asked to use is cause-effect analysis. On Thursday, we will give you the titles of the text or texts on which the exam will be based, and we may discuss some of the main points you may want to analyse. You should revisit our post on Sunday, April 10^th, 2016, to review the ppp on cause-effect analysis.

We need the following students to bring their first mid-term test grades to class on Thursday (and will soon be asking other students for other grades):

Mid-Ter Test 1

Iermoli Krochik, Martina Bianca

Jofre, Sol Ayelén

Jáuregui, Natalia Soledad

Linares, María De Los Angeles

Lombardi, María Victoria

Longhi, Julieta Irina

Lucero, Edith Haydee

See you in class on Thursday.

Kind regards,

A. Argerich
