Being in Brooklyn is a collaboration of two courses, Prof. Justin Davis’s Effective Speaking and Prof. Jody R. Rosen’s English Composition, as part of the First-Year Learning Communities program. It will be taught in the Fall 2013 semester, but draws from previous Learning Community collaborations entitled “Telling Brooklyn Stories,” from Fall 2011 and Fall 2012. This learning community considers Brooklyn, communication, and location as topics for study.
Brooklyn is a collection of neighborhoods and location, a microcosm of the world. This semester our Being in Brooklyn Learning Community will explore Brooklyn through archives at the Brooklyn Historical Society and library research, integrating our own experiences in the City Tech vicinity. Our goal is to communicate effectively, through reading and writing and listening and speaking, what it means to exist in Brooklyn. We will use a variety of approaches including spoken and written assignments that employ interactive technologies including City Tech’s OpenLab digital platform as well as YouTube and Google Maps. These assignments will create a digital archive of life in Brooklyn that will be available to explore in the future.
This Learning Community will provide students with a foundation in effective spoken and written communication. By exploring the relationship between place and identity, this first-year experience encourages students to locate themselves both within our Learning Community as well as the larger City Tech community.

From looking at the avatar I assumed:
1. Chef
2. works at a 5 start banquet restaurent
3. his major was cooking
I was looking through the people and i clicked on Chef_Pepin. I looked at the avatar and it seemed like he was those high fi chefs that works at a 5 star restaurant. It seemed like his major was a cooking major. After I read his details my guesses were wrong. His major was hospitality management. His bio said how he wants to go all around the world and try different cultures food and he really wants to see how the hospitality teaches him to be a real chef.
Nabilah, could you please resubmit your work as a comment in response to the post that’s about the first homework? As we have more work on the site, it will be harder to find this comment when it’s not connected to the right post. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Sure not a problem, and your welcome
