Dear Students,

We are slowly approaching the end of the exam session and long awaited holidays.

I will hold my office hours for two more weeks until 03 July 2025.

Unfortunately, tomorrow 18 June 2025, I will hold online office hours so as not to spread my covid any further. Here is the link to the meeting: https://doodle.com/bp/malgorzatagajdalaszewska/office-hours
Thursday, 19 June 2025 is a holiday, so my regular office hours will be called off.
Next week, I plan to be in the office on Wednesday (25 June 2025), as usual, 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm, and the day after on 26 June 2025 – I will hold my online office hours, again as planned.
My final office hours in person will be held on 2 July 2025, 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm. You can still talk to me online on 3 July 2025 regular time 3:30pm – 5:00 pm. I will resume my office hours in September.

Thank you very much for the entire year.
Have great holidays!

Yours,
Małgorzata Gajda-Łaszewska
