ofthe LAD professors and mentors, you will also have the opportunity to receive individual
assistance to strengthen your language skilIs. These activities wiII help you to be better prepared
to confront the professional worId.

instructions, and you should be informed on how you will be evaluated. We will
personaI1y give you a copy of our LAD rubrics.
