All attending students will be allowed to take a test at the end of each class cycle (November and December), which will be assessed. The average of the marks will count as the final grade. Non-attending students will take a three-hour computer-based examination without the use of the Internet, during which they will have to produce two texts covered in class. Certainly, during the first test, you will not have access to the internet. If you require a monolingual dictionary, you may utilize a physical, paper-based dictionary. see pdf of the book index in the community Released Oct 13th Bibliography In addition to all the material (handouts, Power Points presentations, etc.) made available during the course: MacRAE Paul, Business and Professional Writing.
