More Info on the Final Exam and how to post from Prof. S.

Hi Class,

Two important points on submitting your Final Exam and other work:

1: I have decided that “public” is not an option on your Final Exam post. You must make the visibility of your Final Exam post “PRIVATE.”

2: I have installed a new plug-in on our site, so — from now on, you will be asked to “select a Category” every time you write a post. If you are posting your Final Exam, select “Final Exam” as your category.

If you are just posting any other kind of work, select Uncategorized as your Category.

 

My type-o == Please Read, Prof. S.

Hi Class,

A few of you are asking me about work for “UNIT IV.” There isn’t any required. The last page of your UNIT III format document had some old instructions that were intended for another class, not yours. You don’t have to do any “Unit IV.” I want to thank the students who brought this to my attention. My apologies. See below:

The table of contents is accurate:

 

This last page, which I did not scroll down far enough to see, is not:

Update from Prof. S. -May 17

Hi Class. Updates: This is finals week, and we are not having our usual Zoom classes at 1:00PM. That said, I am available to you for questions, answers, and any concerns on Monday and Tuesday, May 18 and 19. If you write to me between 9:00AM and 2:00PM I will endeavor to get back to you quickly. We can set up individual or small group Zoom meetings to help you.

Don’t forget that your Final Exam is due by Wed, May 20th at 2:20PM.

All the info on how to complete and submit the exam has already been posted. Here is the link.

Instructions for End of Term and Finals Week

Hi Class. A document containing this information is also linked here: Eng 1101 Instructions for End of Term Finals Week. -Prof. S.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR END OF TERM  — Final Exam and Online Uploads for Unit I

FINALS WEEK

ENG 1101 361

PROF. SCHMERLER

What to expect for your final exam:

Your final exam will be a take-home exam consisting of a reading and prompt to which you will respond in essay form. You will receive the reading and prompt and instruction for how to complete the exam in a separate post.

Exam due date: No later than 2:20PM on May 20th.

Had you been in an actual classroom, your final exam would have been timed, and would have lasted 75 minutes.

This Online exam is not timed — but you are welcome to approach it as such: to sit down, as though you were in class, and complete the essay as though you were in the classroom final exam period that day (May 20th), which normally would have ended at 2:15PM.

Request of Submission of Unit I, Online:

Please submit to the Professor an electronic copy of the Literacy Narrative as well as of the UNIT I Reflection you handed in at the beginning of the term.

Please upload these electronic documents to OpenLab with the following nomenclature in the post: UNIT I_COPY_LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME. You may, of course, make your post “private.”

 

If you have the hard copy of these papers, you may photograph the pages and upload them – ideally as a pdf. If you have an electronic copy of these documents, please upload that. If you have neither, please speak up soon.

 Note from the Professor: Units II and III were submitted completely Online. Having digital records of Unit I will be helpful to me and speed the submission of my final grades – and most importantly will lessen the amount of time I will need to spend on campus once I get security clearance to access my desk. The less time I spend outside, the better. Thank you. I appreciate it. -Prof. S.)

Date you will receive your grade for this course: Grades are due from all Professors on CUNYFirst on midnight, May 28. Here is the most recent news from the Provost on CUNY’s new grading policies during confinement.

How to Submit Your Completed UNIT III, due May 18

Hi Class.

Here is how to complete UNIT III, which is due May 18.

  1. As you know from our last Zoom meeting: Instead of waiting for you to find your own affinities, I assigned you into pairs. There is now a sub-folder called PAIRS. You can look there and see who your new assigned partner is. There also is a sample document in this new folder. Please look at it and, as you know, copy it into your own PAIR document.

Once you have had fruitful discussion, and have populated your PAIR document, you are well on your way to completing UNIT III.

The final format document for submitting your work in UNIT III is below. You will upload your work to OpenLab with the post heading LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME_UNIT 3. Please use that same naming system for creating your WORD document:

SAMPLE-DOCUMENT-FORMAT-UNIT-III –affinity and inquiry

I will hold a Q+A session on Friday on Zoom for anyone who wants help, and will send you the link in a separate post.
