Frequently asked questions

Question about visiting classes: What if I miss a class or a day?

 Answer: First, you should contact Director of the course and get his/her permission for the amount of hours you plan to miss. Second, you should remember that no self-taught methodics is better than class participation. Third, please bear in mind that even if the teacher has a plan, it is not a bus schedule and students are not passengers. My experience show that usually 32% of your success depends on the textbook, 33% depends on the teacher but 35% depends upon what happens in the classroom. That means that all the plans are subject to change in both directions.

Please feel free to ask for personal consultation on the material missed. I shall do all I can. Hope you will succeed in mastering this difficult but beautiful language
