Notes!
è You need to come to the class with a dictionary... a pencil and an eraser of course...
è During the exams you are allowed to bring a dictionary too, but changing dictionaries and erasers, etc. during the exam is not allowed at all.
è Active participation to the class discussions is very important. Otherwise, just attending the classes physically is somewhat useless.
