7 Abril 2020, 14:00 • Maria Teresa Correia Casal

Dear All,
I hope you are doing well.
I am aware that at least some of you are juggling multiple deadlines for different subjects, so here is an update that I hope helps you.

  1. Task #1 - Final essay: the draft version is due on Thursday, 9 April; if it helps, you may send it by Saturday, 11 April;
  2. Task #2 - Journal: bearing in mind that the Easter break starts on 9 April and that you are busy with the final essay, this week you are excused from sending a journal entry; however, you are expected to send one by Saturday, 17 April;
  3. Task #2 - Journal: the last journal entry is due by Thursday, 30 April; by then, you are expected to have sent in at least 5 journal entries (you may send more, considering they are of varying length); 
  4. Task #2 - Journal: after receiving feedback on each of your entries, you will be asked to send the final version of all of your entries in a single document.
I hope this helps.
Wishing you a relaxed and safe and Easter.
