CUNY What Part of The Course Was Most Difficult for You Post & Pre Class Questions

EXIT SURVEY

Format: Copy and paste the below into a new document, then answer these questions.

Rubric: For the questions that are not about our course content, just answer them thoughtfully.

For questions about course content, be accurate, cite or quote our text, and edit your answers for clarity before final submission. If you do not wish to answer specific questions, it’s ok, just say “pass.”

How will this be graded? You most likely know by now because you have heard my feedback over these past two months.

But if you remain unsure of how this will be graded, come to office hours and ask. If you cannot make those, Canvas message me and we can set up a time.

I have attempted to make this course about learning, and not your grade. You are not alone in completing this. You can ask me for help on this assignment, just as on any other.

Give yourself a breather and ask for my assistance if you are lost. I am here to help!

Recommendation: Do not submit this too quickly. Some of you wrote rubrics for an A, B, C and so on for our last Discussion Board. You should wait until those have been considered. This course ends on 3/26, but I will allow you to submit until 3/29 at 11:59 PM, which is a strict deadline.
