Dear students!

In your first semester of English, we will cover units 1 to 7 from the Intelligent Business Upper Intermediate coursebook. To finish English I/1 successfully and obtain credits, you will need to:

• be present 80% of the time, meaning you can miss 4 lessons for no reason (any more and you have to bring an official note - from a doctor or a sports event organizer etc. - to the study department). People who miss 5 or 6 lessons without proper apology will receive extra work. People who miss more than 6 lessons will not be allowed to write the credit test.
• be active in the lessons and do your homeworks. People who fail to do so will receive - you guessed it - extra work .
• submit your seminar work (more details in the Business Letters section) by 25 November (groups 5, 16 and 21) or by 26 November (group 26).
• obtain at least 60 points in the credit test (taking place on 16 or 17 December).

You are strongly advised to take this subject seriously and study hard throughout the whole semester. If you do, you will have no problems passing the credit test. Good luck!
