ricevimento studenti

Dal giorno 01/05/2012 il ricevimento studenti verrà svolto a richiesta degli studenti, utilizzando l'indirizzo di Email: fasano@unive.it per concordare l'orario con il docente.

AVVISO IMPORTANTE: si rammenta che nella sala calcolo presso la quale verrà svolta la prova orale, sui PC è installato Office 2003. Gli studenti possono svolgere la prova con il proprio laptop, ma quest'ultimo dovrà essere immediatamente operativo quando lo studente sarà chiamato. Inoltre, il giorno prima della prova orale, il docente provvederà a scaglionare i nominativi degli studenti, differenziandoli per giorno e/o fascia oraria nel quale presentarsi. Le informazioni saranno pubblicate su questo sito.
