Introductions!

Take 150 words or so and introduce yourself in a comment below. Use my example here as a guide.

Greetings Everyone,

My name is Patrick Corbett and I am your professor for ENG 1101-LC05. You can find my official college bio here. Most of my teaching is around writing and technology, and I have collaborated with many of your Hospitality Management professors, including Profs. Goodlad and Stewart. I have taught many different types of writing courses at six different colleges and universities, and I am extremely excited to be working with all of you. I live in Bensonhurst, have two kids, and I am what you might call a serious hobbyist in the kitchen so while I am not a hospitality professional I have great appreciation for the work done across the industry. I see this class, and my role as the professor, as helping you understand the absolutely vital importance of learning to communicate as best you can (and then get better still) in writing so that you can share your vision with others and do great things in the world.

Welcome to ENG 1101-LC!

Hi Everyone —

Welcome to our ENG 1101-LC OpenLab space. As you already know, our class is held across four different platforms (Zoom, OpenLab, Google Drive, and Discord). Each of these provide different functions for us:

  • Zoom — synchronous meetings with chat and video (e.g., class video discussions).
  • Discord — asynchronous chat (e.g., questions you may need answered ASAP).
  • Google Drive — document control and distribution (e.g., assignments, readings, grades).
  • OpenLab — asynchronous group discussion (e.g., class text discussion).

So, here on OpenLab, you will be able to respond to our weekly class discussion questions and find other basic course information that will also be in our Course Documents folder on Drive.

If you need to find us on Discord, you can do so here — https://discord.gg/kg7Thnk. Be sure to join the ENG 1101-LC channel!
