A clear follow-up identifies the missed class and asks for the information needed to catch up.

The idea

State which class you missed, ask about topics and notes, and check whether an assignment and deadline apply.

Examples

  • No pude asistir a la clase de ayer.I could not attend yesterday’s class.
  • ¿Podrías decirme qué temas trataron?Could you tell me which topics they covered?
  • ¿Hay apuntes disponibles?Are notes available?
  • ¿Debo entregar alguna actividad?Do I need to submit an assignment?
  • ¿Cuál es la fecha límite?What is the deadline?
  • Gracias por tu ayuda.Thank you for your help.
