Winter Remedial Class

Welcome!

If you attended my class on Tuesday, you will now know something about me and the other students in the class.  I hope that we can all get along and have a good time over the next few weeks.

To help you study, I will post some things on this blog for you to download and print.

First of all, you should download the word list and print it to assist you with preparing for the tests.

I will often ask you to use the word list in class, so you should keep it in your book.

You also need to join the Northstar online class and use the following code to join my class.

CRSCDYI-74513  (this code is case sensitive)


If you have any problems, you can email me at prof.ian.uk@gmail.com


see you tomorrow~
