Students will register through their SOLAR access

All assignments must be completed by the due date. Never submit two assignments at the same time. Each new assignments must show that you have learned from your previous assignments by avoiding making the same mistakes. The idea is that you learn on an on-going basis.

You should get an Italian language module for your word processors. There is no reason you should make stupid spelling mistakes that a spell checker will catch.

For a quick check on a word in Italian, go the Dizionario Garzanti on-line: www.garzanti.it 

You are required to register and get a password (free of charge) to access the dictionary.
