New classroom rule:

In order to cope with the unavailability of classroom, I have decided to allow students to come late, once in a while, to class no more than 10 minutes to make good used of the limited time we have on Fridays.

Those who do not comply with this, will be asked to come the next class, so please be early on Friday´s class.
