Okay folks, so as the semester draws to a close I must inform you that I have only received one student's
certificate of completion regarding the Library Orientation Program. I handed out flyers concerning this requirement many weeks ago, and I recently announced the following information to the class this previous Monday (11/23). Taken directly from the English Department's statement,
All English I students at Brooklyn College are required to take an Introduction to the Library English I Library Orientation Program.
Therefore, given that virtually the entire class has been negligent in fulfilling this necessary task, I feel compelled to reward you if participate and to penalize you if you fail to do so. I am instituting the following conditions regarding this required formality:
The Library Orientation Program will count as one Article Paper grade, bringing the total of Article Papers to five. Recall that Article Papers count as 25% of your final grade. Thus, this one, final paper counts as 5% (or one-twentieth) of your overall English I course grade.
If you attend the Library Orientation Program and hand in your certificate of completion no later than 12/18 to my mailbox in the English Department (2308 Boylan), then you will receive an A on the fifth Article Paper.
If you fail to attend the Library Orientation Program and you do not hand in the certificate, then you will receive an F on the fifth and final Article Paper.
Of course, should you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter, please feel free to email me.
Note: you need to sign up for an orientation session before attending; you may do so by speaking with a clerk at the Library Reference/Circulation Desk located on the first floor. You are encouraged to visit the website prior to attending: http://dewey.brooklyn.cuny.edu/library/help/loop
I went online to sign up to take this, but it had me take it at home. I passed but I do not have a tangible certificate, what should I do?
ReplyDeleteI think you need to go to the Library and speak to someone at the main desk Makaya. They will be able to inform you as to the exact proceedings. Still, I'm quite certain that certificate verifies that you attended the physical workshop, not that you passed the internet test.
ReplyDeleteYea the link tells us to take the quiz online, I also took two quizzes and passed both. At the end of each quiz you get a confirmation number but we still have to take a physical assessment?
