I hope your break is off to a good start!

Your overall grades have been submitted to CUNYFirst; you can find a breakdown of all assignment grades on Blackboard.

It has been a pleasure getting to know you this semester. Some of you are probably excited to be moving onto your next math class and some of you are probably disappointed that you’ll have to repeat MAT 1575.

If you are repeating MAT 1575, I have a recommendation for you. If you struggled in this class, there is a very good chance that it was because your foundation in Algebra and Calculus I is not as strong as it needed to be, even if you earned passing grades in those courses. These foundations need to be solid in order to expect success in Calculus II. Before classes begin next semester, I strongly suggest you brush up on your Algebra/Calculus I skills. You can access the course hubs for lessons/videos and WeBWorK sections with guest logins to practice and test your understanding. Be persistent and consistent; keep at it and you’ll have a completely different semester next time you take this class!

I wish you a happy 2023 and best of luck in your future endeavors!

Withdrawing officially and unofficially

The last day to withdraw officially from your CityTech classes is Wednesday, December 14.

Some of you are in a position where you would like to withdraw from the class but for some reason you cannot (for example, you will lose financial aid if you are not a full-time student or you are taking another course for which MAT 2680 is a co-requisite). If you do not intend to continue trying to pass this course but cannot drop it (“quiet quitting”) it is still important for you to come to the final exam and hand something in with your name on on. Failure to do so may result in a WU grade (instead of an F). A WU grade counts as an F on your transcript but can also jeopardize your financial aid, so please do attend the final exam.

Final exam absense

If you are absent from the final exam and need to take a make-up exam, you must submit your documentation to the Student Accessibility Center and, if eligible for a make-up exam, make official arrangements with the Math Department in N711. Scheduling a make-up exam costs $25; the make-up is usually given in January.
