Hi everyone, Though my office hours for the semester end this evening, I'm always available via email and appointment, so please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or need advising. Please read on for some important end-of-the-semester announcements. 1. Course and Faculty Evaluations Don't forget to fill out online evaluations for all your courses at http://www.qc.cuny.edu/evaluate/. The department and college welcomes your feedback and takes your suggestions very seriously. All comments are anonymous, confidential, and unavailable to instructors until after final grades have been submitted. The deadline is Dec. 15. You can even fill them out on your mobile devices! 2. Taking an Incomplete If you're unable to complete a final course assignment and want to take an incomplete, please make arrangements with your course instructor. Keep in mind that an incomplete is a temporary grade and should be resolved ASAP. All incompletes MUST be resolved within one calendar year (so an INC in Fall 2015 must be resolved before the end of Fall 2016). 3. Registration for Spring 2016 Courses It is very important that you register for your spring courses , if you haven't already. If we have any classes that are underenrolled, they could be in danger of being canceled by the College administration. So it's in your best interests to register ASAP. I've attached the Spring 2016 course descriptions again here. 4. Registering for 791 and 795 If you're planning to write your thesis essay or take an independent study in the spring, you should've already been in touch with me or Bill and also already asked the faculty members you'd like to work with (before they're gone for the winter break). If you have questions or need copies of the sign-up forms, please let me or Bill know. 5. Graduation Congratulations to everyone who is finishing up and graduating this semester! Though there is no graduation ceremony for fall, we hope you'll come back in June to participate in the campus-wide commencement and the department ceremony. Look out for announcements via this MA listserv in the spring for more info. Hope your fall semester is winding down nicely, and wishing everyone a happy holidays/winter break!
