Last Date for Withdrawal (Wednesday, May 15,2024)

Hello all,

This is usually the worst post I have to write up every semester.

Before you do anything, make sure you check your grade book here.

Just a reminder, the final date to OFFICIALLY WITHDRAW from a course with a grade of W is Wednesday, 5/15, 2024. Not attending the course is not equivalent to withdrawing from a course; it only results in a WU grade, which is equivalent to an F. If you fail the course, it stays on your transcript and adversely affects your GPA. An F grade at the end of the semester will not be erased and will be combined with the grades of your other classes. With a W, CUNY and City Tech will treat it as if you had never attended the class- no harm no foul.

However, it should be noted that a WU on a transcript looks even worse than an F in some cases – as it shows that you could have done something to fix your situation, but it appears to someone (perhaps a job recruiter of some sort) that you were irresponsible enough to not do something about it when the option was available to you.

Note: NYCCT will NOT be doing Credit / No Credit this semester. If you haven’t been attending class, you need to withdraw as soon as possible.

Just be sure to check with the Financial Aid Office in NG013 to see how you withdrawing will affect your financial aid.

You can either do this at the Office of the Registrar in NG015, or withdraw on CUNYFirst. Here are the directions.

If you believe yourself to be failing this course, please email me at vilee@citytech.cuny.edu

Midsemester Grades

Hello class,

You should observe that there is a “Check Your Grade” Widget at the side of the page. I have posted your current results. I have also added “Check Your Grade” in the menu under Course Info.

If you do not see your grade, then it is because you do not have an OpenLab account or have not joined the class OpenLab site with the account.

By the way, I’m rather angry at seeing the lack of WeBWorK completed by the class. Most of you had two weeks to fix your average 35% WeBWorK grade… which remember is 25% of your final grade. If you choose to fail the class based off your WeBWorK grade, then it really, really sucks that you had to learn that lesson in this class.

News: Test 3

Hello class,

It is important to remind you all that WeBWorK counts for 25% of your overall class grade. That means if you produce zero WeBWorK over the course of the semester, your maximum grade can only go up to a C… and that is with 100% on every test.

Speaking of tests, our second test is going to take place on Monday, May 6th. Please bring a TI-84+ calculator, as it is a requirement for the test. You will also not receive a test paper unless you submit your internet-enabled electronic devices (phones, smartwatches, Google glasses,etc. )

In order to adequately prepare for the test, I have a few resources that should help you prepare.
