The next week you will submit your essays through our Edmodo platform group. I will open an assignment at 9:00 a.m. the following Monday (Advanced) or Tuesday (Basic) after I give you the topic. The assignment will remain open for 48 hours. The deadline to submit your writings is on Wednesday (Advanced) or Thursday (Basic) at 9.00 a.m, on the week after I give you the topic in class. No pieces of work will be admitted after this deadline.
Attending class, at least one of the two days in the week you have to submit your writings, is a requirement if you want me to read your essays.
The following week I will send you back your texts pointing out where the mistakes are. On Monday (Advanced) or Tuesday (Basic) before 11.00 a.m. you will find attached in the original assignment a document with your writings and my comments.
