Module 8

Module 8

 

It’s midterm week… that can be stressful and since we have a flexible class format, we can be flexible about how you manage your time this week. Please feel free to give priority to your other midterms, which may have stricter deadlines. You can catch up on your modules for this class later in the week… deadline for all module work is now 11pm this coming Sunday, October 25. My priority is to make sure you have an opportunity to do your best work, not to have the work by an arbitrary deadline. 

 

What I DO need for you to do now is to spend some time looking through your notes and blog posts for this class so far and send me 3 short-answer style questions that you feel would be appropriate to ask on a midterm. Please send me these by email by this coming Tuesday, October 20 at 11pm. I will send/post your midterm exam on Wednesday, October 22, and your replies will be due at 11pm on Sunday, October 25. The format for the midterm will be all short-answer questions, in which you’ll give answers 1-3 paragraphs in length. An example would be: What did the Founding Fathers have to say about factions? Were they right to dwell on this subject… are factions indeed potentially harmful to American democracy? Cite examples as part of your reply.

 

So, recap of this week: You send me your 3 proposed midterm questions by email by Tuesday 11pm, I will email/post your midterm exam on Wednesday, your responses and any remaining Module work are all due by Sunday 11pm. Hopefully, that timeline allows you ample opportunities to plan your time and get your work done before, after, or during midterm break, according to your preference.
