Dear students, 

The catch-up exam in English will take place on September 20, 2011 at 2 pm in room 425 (new Clignancourt). 

Here is an extract from Prof. Mathis's message I've just received:

[...] les rattrapages en anglais pour historiens auront lieu le 20 septembre, à partir de 9h (pour les L1), de 14h (pour les L2), en salle 425 de Clignancourt (du NOUVEAU Clignancourt). 

As far as this exam itself, here are more precisions from Prof. Mathis:

C'est un oral, avec préparation d'un texte pendant 10-15mn, puis présentation du texte à l'examinateur pendant 10-15mn. Pas de révisions, si ce n'est les règles de grammaire vues pendant l'année.

Keep checking this blog on a very regular basis!

More precisions will be posted as soon as I get them.

Best regards,

Dear students,

Some of you emailed me about the dates and hours of the catch-up exam in English. This is the answer I got from the History department:

L'anglais étant en contrôle continu, il n'y a pas de rattrapage en septembre. La matière est validée par les autres composantes de l'UE2.

Should you need further clarifications and information, DO NOT email me but to the following people in charge of foreign languages in the History department:

• François-Xavier Romanacce (Francois-Xavier.Romanacce@paris-sorbonne.fr)

• Charles-François Mathis (Charles-Francois.Mathis@paris-sorbonne.fr)

Best regards,
