ISO 20-21 ENG 1, ISO 20-21 ENG 2, and ENG 3 (the magistrale course):
Forgive my delay, but all classes start up next week and I will be putting links to all the Zoom meetings right here on my bacheca tomorrow or Sunday at the latest.
One by one, ENG 1 has the same schedule as last semester:
Tuesdays 5 to 7 pm, in theory in the Aula Magna
and Wednesdays 5 to 7 pm, in aula 104.
ENG 2 meets Thursdays, 1 to 3 pm, and Fridays, 11am to 1pm, in aula 109 both times.
ENG 3 meets just on Fridays, from 3 to 5pm, in aula 104. Just six times for ENG 3!
ENG 3 is a translation workshop; ENG 2 completes Keynote Upper-Intermediate, Units 9-12, and ENG 1 will now do Units 5-8.
E questo è quanto, per ora!
No, non è vero: I'll be doing my office hours on Wednesdays from 4-5pm and on Fridays from 5 to 6pm! I'll be up on the third floor (room 320? can't remember, will update this) and turn on Skype for anyone calling in. Do write to me with any questions!

LAST CHANCE! I have just opened the appello for February 10 on the elearning platform: https://elearning.uniroma1.it/ Remember, you need to have signed up for either the ISO 19-20 ENG 1 course or the ISO 19-20 ENG 2 course in order to sign up for either exam.
After the February exam, there will be just an appello straordinario for 'laureandi, fuori corso e lavoratori", probably in April.

You will be doing the actual exam on exam.net. I will provide the passcode directly on Zoom Thursday. You can do the Zoom meeting and the exam at exam.net on a computer. If absolutely necessary, you could use your phone for the Zoom meeting, but you need another device for the exam itself.
IMPORTANT: Please send me your student ID (or a passport, I need to see your date of birth) to my email address by Wednesday, thanks!
These exams are reserved for the students who booked them on the elearning platform by January 14th!

INCREDIBLE ISO 20-21 ENG 1!
Just a reminder: our first class is on Wednesday. NOT tomorrow. I say this because I saw someone has 'joined' my Tuesday 'meeting' in advance: that will be a lonely time, since I won't be there tomorrow. WEDNESDAY is the big day!!
Thursday, October 8, 2020
HELLO, INCREDIBLE ISO 20-21 ENG 1!
We are starting classes next Wednesday, October 14, from 5-7pm in Aula 104.
In reality, the classes will be on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 5-7pm, Tuesdays in the Aula Magna, Wednesdays in Aula 104. But the first class is next Wednesday.
Why? Ah, saperlo!
For those joining us from home or wherever, on whatever device, computer, phone, tablet, here are the links to the Zoom meetings for my classes.
ATTENZIONE: there is one link for the weekly Wednesday class, and another link for the weekly Tuesday class, through December. So, same two links every week.

IMPORTANT: When teaching from home, as I did during the lockdown, I sat right in front of my screen. Now, the Sapienza is streaming the class with me standing, sitting, walking, and you should see the big screen.
I confess this is not totally clear to me. LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS!
ALSO: I have not yet created the course ISO 20-21 ENG 1 on the elearning platform so you can register there (that's also where your marks go, and any avvisi go right to your email addresses, which is useful). But I will in the next few days.
LASTLY: We're going to be using the TED-Talk-based textbook
KEYNOTE UPPER-INTERMEDIATE published by
Cengage-National Geographic.
SEE YOU NEXT WEEK, GUYS!
