Next test

Hi everyone, I've been waiting for 80 minutes, I guess you are not coming today! :)

On Thursday you're having a test on Module 3. Before the test we'll be correcting the Revision activities I gave you last week. Please, finish them at home and bring them next class so that you can correct and ask any doubts BEFORE the test.

The presentation of activity 2 (Bits and Bundles) will be on Friday. Get ready for your 1 to 2 minute-speech. You can show your results on the blog with the projector.

See you, Jimena
