Work placement(s)
Organizational remarks
On the day of the oral exam, students have to bring the article that they have presented orally during the term as well as the articles studied in class. Notes in the articles themselves are welcome, as long as those notes are handwritten.
The use of cell phones for any reason is not permitted in the classroom. Students accessing their cell phones for any reason will be considered disruptive and may be asked to leave the class. Similarly, laptops are to be used in class only for purposes that are strictly related to class work and only when explicitly allowed by the teacher. Examples of such purposes may be looking up vocabulary or making powerpoint presentations. Using laptops for any other purpose could also result in sanctions.
Students are advised to bring a paper version of the articles to class and to make notes by hand. However, should exceptional circumstances make the use of a laptop necessary, students are required to let the teacher know before the class.
