“That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you’re not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.” ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald

This is a 25-question multiple-choice test, which students have 90 minutes to complete. About half the questions relate to poetry. The test must be completed in one sitting. Once the test has closed, it will become unavailable and unviewable. 

To access the test, go to your Blackboard course and click on Links to Quizzes. Then choose Final Quiz.

I want to congratulate everyone who has completed this course during such a tumultuous and stressful time. Your ability to do this demonstrates self-discipline, focus, and dedication to your own academic goals. I have especially enjoyed this semester’s discussion board, and I thank you all for your generous, thoughtful, and often quite personal responses to the weekly questions. I have learned a lot from you. 

I wish you all the best as you continue your studies, I hope you can rest a bit during the semester break. Enjoy the holidays! See below for important information regarding BMCC’s CR/NC (Credit/No Credit) grading policy.

By now you have received information regarding BMCC’s NC/CR (Credit/No Credit) policy, which has been reinstated for this semester. Please be sure to read this important information.

Here are the basics:

CR (Credit)
Students have the option to take CR (Credit) if their earned grade is B+ through D-.

NC (No Credit)
Students have the option to take NC (No Credit) if their earned grade is F. A grade of WU cannot be changed to NC (No Credit).

How to apply for a CR (Credit) or NC (No Credit) grade:

• Students must first consult with a BMCC adviser. These grades (like all others) have an impact on the bigger picture, including financial aid and degree completion. Students need to be fully informed before making the decision.

• After speaking to an adviser, students must request this change themselves. Students can do this between December 23, 2020 through January 15, 2021.

• Directions for how to request a grade of CR (Credit) or NC (No Credit) is included in the information sent by BMCC to all students.
