Dear All:

As the semester is coming to a close, I am writing with some important reminders and deadlines so nothing gets lost in the busy final exam season.

•       The last day by which you need to submit revisions of assignments (formal essays and writing on the blog) in a single email is Wednesday, May 17th by midnight.  This is a firm deadline (and the official date of our final as it is offered by the College.) We agreed that the in-class final will be substituted by a writing portfolio (i.e., revisions of all writing that requires revision on the blog and formal essays)  Revised Essays must be submitted as attachments to an email and sent to: [email protected]

If you revise your writing on the blog, please let me know which posts.

You should have three blog-posts in total and around 6 comments on the writing of your peers

I will reply to each submission and confirm receipt.  If you don’t hear from me within 12 hours, please write back.  Baruch faculty email accounts are going through a massive migration to M365, so please keep an eye out for my reply to your email.

•       The deadline for revisions of your writing on the blog is also Wednesday, May 17th by midnight.

•       Please know that I am available to meet with you on Zoom, or in person, to discuss any questions you might have or go over assignments you may need assistance with between now and May 17^th.

•       Also, do submit missing assignments, even if they’re late.

•       Finally, I offer here the questions to the two blog posts and a link to the two formal essays you had to complete:

             

I wish you all a successful final exam period and an easy end-of the-semester.  It was a real privilege participating in discussions with you and appreciating you fresh perspectives on the literature.  Thank you for your investment in the class, your dedication to your/our progress, and the incredible generosity and sensitivity you expressed toward your peers’ writing.  Your contributions—written and oral—made this class a far richer and more enjoyable experience than I had anticipated. 

I look forward to seeing you all in class tomorrow and next Monday.

With appreciation and warmest wishes,
Christina Christoforatou
