Just a quick post about a former TA & student of mine, Drea Bernardi.
I was her CUNY BA faculty advisor and I’m quite proud of her.
Thought you may be interested that you can make it!
Hope springs… in Monster…com 
And no, I cannot get you an internship with her.

Hello Monday & Thursday Class,
As promised, I finished grading the blogs before your final exam. I am a man of my word!
Overall, the blogs were good! I enjoyed reading EVERYONE ONE OF THEM!!
I really was quite pleased with the work — and I love that some of you have a new favorite band.
To those who didn’t like the music, the album, the band, please see the clip: http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/360436/were-sorry
Some of you will wonder why you got this grade or that grade… some are simple, lateness, silly mistakes that happened constantly or not enough work dropped the grade.
The difference between getting an A & B can be summed up with the blogs below. If you wondered why you got what you got — take a look below. While far from perfect this is how you get an A, and not everyone who got an A is on here, you can see what I mean by A work.
Now, as it always happens, I may have missed something, something may have been “lost in translation” so if you have an issue with your grade, email me. However, before you do, look at the blogs below.
See you on Thursday, Thursday’s class. Good luck studying.
You will have your grades on Tuesday — I wouldn’t want to ruin the weekend or… make it better… or just make it a C+ weekend. Ya know what I mean.
Was a pleasure having you as students in the class!
Best,
Professor Dunphy

Thanks!

P.s — Cool news: I just met with the producers of the documentary 6 days to Air: The Making of South Park! So cool… I was speaking to them and I told them I consider South Park part Shakespeare and also the lowest form of humor… Then they asked me things I hate– guess what I told them! Guess the movie!?! Oh, I just got a gift from Comedy Central — A Butters Bobblehead that says: “Son of a Biscuit!” They gave it to me because Butters is my favorite!
Hello Everyone,
Thank you again for coming to the class last night. I really do love that room. I should put in a request to get it all the time.
It was the first room I ever taught in at Brooklyn College — I’m way way too comfortable in there.
Hope you enjoyed the lecture and the ramble at the end… I did mean everything I said. So hopefully, it will make an impact on you and you’ll do something about it!
Like study!
Anyway — it was a pleasure having you as my students, looking forward to having you again and seeing you around campus.
Best of luck and enjoy the summer.
To the final:
A slight change — the chapters are:
News, PR, Media Law & Media Ethics
Multiple Choice & Matching
#2 pencil, etc. Same deal as before.
Look back on the previous posts to see when your exam date is.
The Study Guide: As per usual, this is a guide, not the answers…
The file is attached here: Study Guide for Final Exam Spring 12
Good luck!!
Best,
Professor Dunphy

I believe that is about it.
See you then!
