Unless you have discussed it with me, I think that opting into pass\/fail is the wrong decision for this class. Getting an A or a B is very straightforward, and there&#8217;s no need for you to have a class like this not count in your GPA. That said, if you&#8217;re close to drowning in this or other classes, maybe the pass\/fail option is for you. A passing grade in this class looks like a C&#8212;I don&#8217;t really give Ds. So <strong>in order to get a passing grade, you need to have completed at least one small project and the final project.<\/strong> I will not know whether you&#8217;ve opted in to the pass\/fail system; I will only know whether you&#8217;ve met the qualifications for a C.<\/li><li>Watch my closing video:<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ulI6Kr2SH9I\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fill out your official course evaluation.<\/li><li>Fill out your <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSfn6woFMvH9L5p2P81OsR-C7I5JPwKTLOz1KqVkQQUj6ix5Dg\/viewform?usp=sf_link\">self-assessment<\/a>.<\/li><li>Fill out our <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSepnwC0TUee2z3Z4wh58trFQNRhJbEH3LlUcCcw_zQi6X08zg\/viewform?usp=sf_link\">unofficial survey<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen to this podcast that I created last semester for my students in HIST390.
