Hello class. I wish everyone a happy summer and safety as the city begins to reopen since the pandemic. My name is Quincy Luckett. You can call me Quincy. I am a Btech student majoring in Networking and Security. Taking this class was a last-minute decision but doing so will accelerate my expected graduation date. This is my first time enrolling in a summer class. I worry if it will be too much after having just completed rough semester. After this summer session, I will have only two more semesters before graduating- that is my motivation! I am excited to finish this degree and break into the Information Technology field. I work for the New York City Police Department doing clerical work. I would like to get a position in the IT department where I work. I enjoy gaming. I favor RPG and fighting games. After graduating, I also plan on honing my programming skills. The IT field is vast, and I find myself curious in other paths within it. While I enjoy my major, I would like to improve my programming skills and learn of the technology used in video game development. I am from, Spanish Harlem, however I have lived in Brooklyn most of my life. I this image is my avatar from the bitmoji app. I think it’s cool and looks the way I imagine I would in a cartoon.
About the class
Technical writing, professional writing… what’s the difference? How can we understand what to do in any given professional writing situation? This class will focus on Technical Writing, but there’s obviously overlap, and things to keep in mind.
I’m Jacquelyn Blain (also known as Donna according to CUNY although I never use it). You can reach me most easily via our Slack workspace. My email is DBlain@citytech.cuny.edu.
This class is fast and busy and will keep you working… a lot. It can also be rewarding and interesting if you jump in and do your best.

Who’s there? So glad to have you with us. I’m a sort-of gamer — like interactive fiction/adventure games on the PC (love Firewatch! need a Switch for Zelda…). I’ve actually been co-teaching a class about developing videogames (for non-computer science/tech majors), and we’re making an RPG this summer, which should be fun. I hope I can make this class so you don’t go too crazy this summer. There’s a lot to do, but we’ll roll with it! And as if you can’t tell, I love your image!
Thank you! Although most of my gaming is on a console, I am a big fan of Everquest on PC; its been out since 1999. It is awesome that you’re co-teaching a videogame development class. I would love to pick your brain about the process.
I actually teach the narrative/story development part of it, but ask away! I may have to get my co-teacher to give me the answers, but no problem!
