Hi class,

I have posted our First Exam: https://openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu/pol-100-0501-fall-2024-introduction-to-american-government/module-8-first-exam/

As usual, you have the entire week to write the exam, which is due next Sunday, by midnight.

Please do not rush through the exam, and make sure your responses are longer than 2-3 sentences.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email me.

Hi class,

I have posted our new module for the upcoming week: Module 7

Next Sunday, I will post our First Exam, which is Module 8….

Hi class,

This coming week, we’ll be working on Module 6.

Hi class,

Just a reminder that this week we don’t have a new module. Rather, we will continue our work on Module 5. This module is rich in ideas, thus don’t rush through it, take your time to engage with the material.

As I’m reading through the many excellent and detailed discussion board posts you have written, I have noticed that a number of students are completing these assignments by Commenting under my post for each discussion board assignment.

This is not the correct way to submit discussion board posts. The correct way is outlined in Discussion Board 3.1 by a video of mine. Most students are correctly Posting their discussion board assignments.

I have around 120 students, who are using the OpenLab one way or another, so it is crucial that all assignments are entered in a uniform way. Please, if you are completing discussion boards by simply commenting underneath my post, then you will not receive credit for such work.

Please post your assignments by following my instructions. If you are unsure how to do this, simply email me and I’ll be more than happy to go over the process.

Again, no credit will be given for any discussion board posts that are incorrectly entered as Comments underneath my post for each discussion board.

Hi class,

I just posted our new module: Module 5

Note that this module will take 2 weeks to complete, as it contains a fair amount of material. Please don’t rush through it, work slowly and carefully.

Hi class,

The New Yorker website hosting our Reading 4.2 is apparently down. While we wait for them to fix it, please continue to the other Discussion Board assignment.

Hi class,

I have posted our new module for the coming week: Module 4

I will be reading through your posts for Module 3, while you work on Module 4.

Hi class,

As I was reading through the Discussion Board 1 posts, I noticed that 3 or 4 students are actually registered for my other POL 100 class on the OpenLab: Section 0502.

If you are registered for POL 100 – 0502, please join that other class website and repost your first discussion board there.

POL 100-0502 can be found here: https://openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu/pol-100-0502-fall-2024-introduction-to-american-government/

This is to avoid problems with missing work, etc., later on in the semester.

Hi class,

Please ignore any assignments related to making annotations in our readings.

The plugin we were testing for entering annotations didn’t work reliably, so we turned it off in the last moment.

Thanks.

Prof. Artinian
