Announcements: Class
- Please add your name here if you plan to present today.
- Reminder: For your midterm, are you using G-Suite (Google Drive, Docs, Slides, etc.) NYU Stream, Vimeo, or another service that’s external to your blog?
- CHECK NOW that you have granted me access permission. I reserve the right to deduct a small amount from your grade if I have to directly email you about this.
- Please also include links to all external materials in your midterm blog post.
- Reminders about midterm deadlines:
- Drafts of all your materials (essay, pictures, recording if you’re not presenting live) must be posted today, October 20, by 4pm. Each day of missing materials translates to two points deducted from the project grade.
- You can continue to revise your project until October 27 at 11:59 PM.
- If you’re experiencing difficult circumstances and need more time beyond October 27, email Deanna Rayment at the Tandon Office of Student Affairs, who can help you determine a new plan, then recommend it to me. If you think your circumstances might persist and cause stress and anxiety to the end of the semester, contact the Moses Center for Student Accessibility and let me know as soon as you can.
- Please be ready to turn on your camera for applause and Q&A, even if you’re not presenting. Thank you!
