Attention 1975 RLS Students!!! About F 3/4

It has come to my attention that cheating was taking place during my examination today. Unfortunately, the only way to rectify this situation is to have EVERYONE IN 1975 RETAKE THE READING AND VOCABULARY MIDTERM ON FRIDAY.It will start at 3:30pm.

Be there. It is mandatory. Conferences will take place at a later date.

Thank you. And I do apologize to those of you who didn't cheat but everyone has to retake it. Do not bring any books into my room. Cell phones will be collected at the beginning of class.

Only bring blank paper and a pencil or pen.
