Dear Class,

The school requires me to post midterm marks on Blackboard. These scores are based on a calculation of the percentage of points you have earned on the total points available so far, to this point in the semester. This includes half of your participation grade for the year, your homework grade so far, the midterm exam, and your Annotated Bibliography. You can see the marks and their meaning below:

P: Passing. 65-100%

BL: Borderline. 55-65%

U: Unsatisfactory <55%

SA: stopped attending

If your grade is BL or U you are in danger of failing the class. I recommend setting an appointment with me to discuss how you can improve your grade. 

These grades reflect your performance on only the 40% of the course that has been graded so far, so that means that 60% of the grade is still to be determined. If your grade is not where you want it, please note that there is still time to make major improvements. Also, if you have outstanding homework assignments or papers, submitting them as soon as possible may significantly help your grade.

Please let me know if you have any questions, see you tonight.

Best,

Dr. M

Annotated Bibliographies are due tonight by midnight. Please upload to turnitin.com. 

Remember to pay careful attention to the assignment instructions and take a look at the sample entry. 

See you tonight!

Hi Class–

You should be able to see your grades and click through your answers on the exam on Blackboard now. 

We will try to talk for a little bit about preparing for and studying for exams on Monday night. See you then. 

Dr. M

The Midterm Exam will be available tonight from 6-8:30pm on Blackboard. You must begin the exam on a computer between 6pm and 8:30pm. I will be available during the exam in the classroom and also via email. 

You can see more information about the exam here.

Good luck on the exam, see you all in a week!

Dr. M

Our Mid-term Exam is coming up next Monday, 3/11!!

The test will be 75 minutes long and will be administered on Blackboard. You should receive an announcement to your email at 6:00pm when it becomes available. You can also find it under “Content” in Blackboard after 6:00pm.

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.

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.

You can start it any time within the normal class period (6:00-8:30pm) and will receive a full 75 minutes to take the test. It is possible to pause the test and come back later, but the clock will keep ticking and you only have 75 minutes total to take the test. You will not be able to resume after 8:30pm.

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.

Don’t forget to download the review sheet and fill it out before the test! And let me know if you have any questions.

Dr. M

Dear Class,

Please submit all written work to turnitin.com (unless otherwise instructed). To do this, you will need to go to turnitin.com and create an account, if you don’t already have one.

To enroll in our class you will need to enter the enrollment info found in the announcement on Blackboard.

Best,

Dr. M

We have a scheduled meeting tomorrow night at 6pm because CUNY is running on a Monday schedule that day. Make sure to prepare by doing the readings and answering the reading questions for the day.

See you then!

Dr. M

Groups and cases have been posted on Blackboard. Go to “Content,” then “Cases and Groups” to find your case and group. 

You should now have enough information to begin on the Annotated Bibliography Assignment, due 3/18. 

Just a quick reminder that we have class tonight at 6pm. Today follows a Monday schedule for classes at City Tech. 

We also have class on Monday (2/26) and Wednesday (2/28) next week. If you have any questions, see Schedule and Readings page. 

Best, 

Dr. M
