Final Exam Thursday, Dec. 16

The final exam for PHIL 2203ID will be Thursday, 12/16. You may start any time between 4 and 5:15pm, but once you start, you will have only 75 minutes (that is, 1 hr 15 mins) to complete it; any time you take beyond that will be penalized, 2 pts/minute. 

You will receive a link to the exam at 4pm in whatever email you have registered on Blackboard. You can also find it under “Content” in Blackboard after 4:00pm. 

The exam is open book and open notes. I recommend that you study carefully for it by filling out the study sheet ahead of time. Most of the questions require understanding concepts, not simply repeating answers from the study sheet. I will be available via email between 4 and 5:15pm, if you have any questions or technical problems. 

Do NOT plagiarize from the internet. Utilizing answers from class materials and lectures is acceptable. Plagiarism from the internet is grounds for a zero score on the test.

If you need a special exception you need to contact me. If for some reason you don’t contact me and also don’t take it at the appointed time, you will need a documented excuse (either medical or related to bereavement) for permission to take it at another time.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Please remember to complete student evaluations of teaching (SETs)!!

You can find a link to your personal evaluation form in your City Tech email. Look for an email that says the name of this course, and has the following attributes: 

i. Sender Name: NYC College of Technology Course Evaluations

Any feedback you can give will be helpful and much appreciated. 

Thanks!

Written Reports Graded

Written Reports for non-editor roles have now been graded. You can see you grades and my comments on turnitin.com. 

Please review the comments carefully. They will help you to put together a better presentation, and often indicate how someone might object to your argument (and what I or someone else might ask you about your case). 

Let me know if you have any questions. 

Best,
