Hi Students, 

Thank you for your feedback. It turned out I submitted the grades but missed the “Post” button. Please check CUNYFirst again for your final grades, they should appear there now. Sorry about that!

Happy Holidays. 

Dr. M

Dear Class,

Final grades have now posted to CUNYFirst. You can check them there. You should also be able to see your final exam grade on Blackboard.

Best wishes to all of you for your academic careers and future plans. I hope you enjoy the holidays!

Best,

Dr. M

You can see all the information about it in my previous post. Best wishes, everyone, and happy holidays!

Dear Class: 

I emailed each student a rubric containing the group presentation grade. The email was sent to whatever address you have on file in Blackboard.

On the whole, the presentations were very good and I learned some things from them. I hope you did too!

Best, 

Dr. M

Dear Class, 

We will have a review session for the upcoming final exam on Tuesday, 12/14. You should fill out the review sheet prior to our session! 

See you then. 

Dr. M

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.

Dr. M

In our last class, we took time to complete these. If you weren’t there or didn’t complete it, please take a moment to evaluate this class! 

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

ii. Address: SPSSurveys@scantron.com

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

Thanks!

Dr. MacDougall

If you have any remaining written work you would like to submit (papers, homework, etc), you may still do so. However, the last day for submitting these assignments is Tuesday 12/14, before midnight. I will not check turnitin.com again after this. 

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, 

Dr. M

Dear Class: 

Group Presentations are around the corner, starting in less than two weeks. You can see the date for your group’s presentation on the class schedule. 

Handout 3–the Group Presentation Assignment and Rubric–has been posted on the Case Project page. You can begin working with your groupmates on your presentation now that your papers have been submitted. 

We will talk further about the assignment in class on Tuesday.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Dr. M
