Does this course count for a credit? The President of the Corso di Laurea is investigating a way to make the course count for regular credits. So please do not abandon the ship yet!!! The news this morning (6 nov.) is that both the Corso di Laurea and the Area inglese reportedly "si stavano orientando verso un riconoscimento dei due moduli Modi e Accomodamento per i 5 crediti richiesti."
What does "si stavano orientando mean?" Don't ask me, you're Italian!!!
You
don't have a PC at home? Use the PCs in the computer lab (across
from the language lab) on the ground floor. See the hours for
Language Students here> . Or
use the Pcs in an Inexpensive Internet Point... Or buy an
Inexpensive PC with help from RomaTre.
This module will meet 12 times: October_
13___16___20___23___27___30 Notes: *Nov.13:
Teacher away (conference) Students who attend regularly and do all assignments will be exonerated from a certain number of chapters of Byram. Regular attendance means present 9 times (the exam on the 27th of November counts as a lesson). Thus, 3 absences are the maximum.

*A
common question: "I don't have a PC or money to buy one. But
you use the Internet in your teaching. And I will need a PC to
write up my research findings for the esoneri and my tesi.
What can I do?" Attendance
