Y Final grades and exams
Hi everyone,
As I’m sure you know, or will find out shortly, final grades were posted a short while ago. I wanted to tell you again how much I enjoyed our class and your final papers. I attached a few comments directly to your exams in Blackboard, but about midway through this process I began to jot my notes down in a Word document instead because the application in Blackboard became too cumbersome. Or it could be that my computer is too old, I’m not sure. But I’m going to go with Blackboard. In any case, if you are interested in reading my remarks, just let me know. I realize at the end of the semester some of you are ready to move on and that’s fine too.
Best of luck with whatever is next for you and thank you again for a great class.

Y Final exam–Problem with Blackboard and Chrome
Hi everyone,
A student has reported that she was unable to upload the final exam to Blackboard when using the Chrome browser. If this happens, login to Blackboard through Firefox instead.

Y Final Exam–Question from Jacklyn
Hi everyone,
Jacklyn sent an email asking the following question: “I see that we are to have no less than 2,000 words for the 10 page essay. I have over 2,000 words/ 8 pages, is that valid or are you requesting we have an actual 10 page essay?”
I will be counting the number of words for each essay and not the number of pages. If you meet the word count, it doesn’t matter if your essay is under 10 pages.

Y Final Exam–Due Tuesday
Hi everyone,
This is just a reminder that the final exam is due this Tuesday, May 23rd, at 9pm. If you have not done so already, please make sure you login to Blackboard ASAP to make sure you have access to the prompt for the exam. The tab “Final Exam” appears in the menu bar on the left; after you click on the tab you will be able to upload your exam to the website. The prompt will be available for a few hours after the due date; however, late exams will incur a penalty (a deduction of a full letter grade). A copy of the rubric for the exam is located under “Resources” on our WordPress site. If you have not done so already, please familiarize yourself with the rubric.
Thanks,
Elizabeth

Hi Amber,
All the readings on the final exam are from our course syllabus.
When you decide which question you will answer, be sure to read the question carefully and choose from the readings that are listed. If you would like to include a reading from our syllabus that is not one of the options listed in the question, you must e-mail in advance for permission.
I hope I’ve answered your questions.

Hi Toni,
I saw your message which indicated you are having trouble accessing the rubric for the final exam. I believe the problem is on your end (b/c I am able to access the rubric from both of my machines at home.) Let me know if you continue to have this problem, and I’ll send you a copy via e-mail.

Due Sunday, April 30th, by midnight. Word count: 400 words. Please make sure everything is in your own words. If you paraphrase, make sure to include the proper citation.
In her essay, “Do Muslim Women Really Need Saving,” Lila Abu-Lughod argues that discourses on humanitarianism and human rights in the 21st century rely in some way on constructions of Muslim women. Drawing on details from the text, describe in your own words Lughod’s critique of constructions of veiled women and “vocations of saving others” (2002:789).
