These will be graded for comple4on.This is so that you can prac4ce these new skills without worrying about being penalized by a low grade.
I like that this is integrated into the course. Usually in my previous classes I haven't been giving the opportunity to learn and practice my skills without it being worth a big percentage of my grade.
Any student who has difficulty affording groceries or accessing sufficient food to eat every day, or who lacks a safe and stable place to live, and believes this may affect your academic progress, is urged to contact the Office of Student Affairs by emailing studentaffairs@unl.edu, calling 402-472-3755, or stopping by their office in person.
I am happy to see this was included in the syllabus! Especailly with the state the government is in with taking away food stamps etc.
I will not extend grace to you if you use generative AI, and I won’t debate it with you. If I suspect you’ve used generative AI, you will receive a zero for the assignment and I will submit it to the board for academic misconduct.
I completely agree and this is a very fair outcome. AI is dimishing and harmful to use as students pursuing a bachelors degree. Not only does it harm the evniornment and negatively impacts the work force. It also impacts student learning and defeats the purpose of going to unviersity in the first place.

I honestly appreciate this. Some courses don't allow room for late work. I am super grateful that this course has some flexiblity built into it, allowing for flexbility as well as accountability as students enrolled in this course.
IQ tests don’t take into account common sense or experience, attributes that the academically gifted sometimes lack outside of a scholarly setting.
There are multiple different ways to be intellegent. Someone can be street smart, book smart, business savy. Everyone has their own strengths and things that they excel at. Things like IQ tests and standarized testing isn't an accurate way to asses someone's intellegence. I wish they would try to figure out another way other than streneous exams.
As you read the essay a second time, probe for a deeper understanding of and appreciation for what the writer has done.
I honestly think I am a very lazy reader. I usually just read the article once and am left confused. I can definietly see how reading the article a second time allows for more appreciation of the material.
Make some marginal notes of your expectations for the essay, and write out a response to the prompt.
Taking marginal notes is super clever! I was never taught or thought of the idea myself to do that. I can see how that definetly helps further your understanding and whatt he passage is actually conveying.
Active reading will repay your efforts by helping you read more effectively and grow as a writer
I am eager to start actively reading as a STEM major, I often find myself struggling to truly understand readings and find a major takeaway. Hopefully I can interact with more of my readings to better absorb the content.
