Student Course Evaluations are super helpful to me in terms of building my classes and rehiring. I appreciate all feedback enthusiastic, so-so, or unfavourable. Evaluations must be completed by the end of the day Monday, December 13th. Your responses are anonymous and I will not be able to see them until after I have turned in your final grades. Here is the information I have received about the student evaluations:
We are asking for your assistance again to remind your students to complete the course evaluation survey; the deadline is Monday, December 13th, at 11:59 PM.If you are contacted by a student who has not received their course evaluation survey email, please have them reach out to ins@bmcc.cuny.edu.
On Monday, November 8th, 2021, we emailed students enrolled in your course with the subject line ‘Student Course Evaluations’.We asked them to evaluate the course(s) you are teaching this semester. Subsequent reminder emails were also sent to students who have yet to respond.
Information about the course evaluation survey was provided in the emails. Each student received an individualized link that directs them to their respective course evaluation. Please note that no general link is provided.

November 29 at 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm | Zoom
Join us for a conversation with Dr. Richard D. Wolff, Professor of Economics Emeritus, University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Dr. Wolff will discuss US capitalism’s problems today which include record inequality, economic instability, Covid, inflation, bad jobs, record government, business, and household debts, US political gridlock, and tough global competition. These problems add up to a general crisis of the system. The reaction inside the US – mostly denial – solves nothing. We need solutions such as this: democratize workplaces for a system different from and better than capitalism.
