Students were asked to record a question about the project status presentation made by each team (19) in the class during a week. Three to four students ask their questions during the 2 minute Q&A at the end of each presentation. Online students and campus students who missed a lecture can do this from the lecture recordings. The goal is to learn to listen to presentations and ask questions about the material presented as practice for meetings in academia and industry.

Two students didn’t get the message. Ninety-five other students did.

Campus Undergrad Student:

A student copied and pasted the same generic question for each team, unrelated to the course topic or the specific presentation. We didn’t give credit for duplicate questions on the assignment. Some students had 1 or 2. He did it for all of them.

Complained that the assignment didn’t say the questions had to be unique and said he reported me to the university for unfair practices in the email he sent to me. Turns out the assignment was still open and I allowed multiple submissions so he completed the assignment as intended while still complaining that it was unfair.

Online Undergrad Student:

“Hey XXXX, for my I5 I wrote no questions for all the teams that presented, it was genuinely because I had no questions. However because of that, I got 0 on that part and my grades dropped to 60%, will you please consider giving me another chance so I can come up with more questions for it?”

Me:

"It’s easy to have no questions when you did not watch the recorded presentations in the first place. So no, you don’t get a second chance.

Remember that attendance is required and it appears you haven’t watched any of the recorded lectures this semester."
