INFORMATION AND REQUEST FAMILY LAW COURSE
Service EDT
Just a quick feedback and some requests following yesterday’s Family Law class from 2 to 4 pm and not from 2 to 3:30 pm. Could you kindly arrange for the next classes to be held in a room because it was very disruptive for me and the students as the microphone did not always work and the students were quite scattered in the lecture hall.
Furthermore, after checking with Barbara, there was no video conference with the students from La ROCHE SUR YON, and apparently the students were not informed.
Do you have any information about the exams?
I know that I am the one preparing the topics and I told the students who came to see me at the end of the class that I am normally the one who writes the topic and who will grade it. Should I plan for 3 grades or just one grade knowing that it is a lecture course, the students cannot participate and there are no tutorials in this subject? What arrangements were made on this matter last year?
Many thanks for your response. Have a nice day.
