NB (nota bene): Classes do not meet next Monday or Tuesday (9/26, 9/27); and Thursday (9/29) follows a Monday schedule.

Our class returns Thursday, Oct. 6, which is when your current memo deliverable will be due.

I appreciate your patience today in class when we had trouble having everyone login to the N601B lab computers.

For those few students who were able to login, you can disregard this announcement since you were able to login successfully.

For everyone who was unable to login to the N601B computers, there are two things that you need to do before class next week.

First, follow these directions provided by Technology Services to reset the password of your City Tech ID (the part of your email address before the @ symbol). Pay attention to the capitalization of your City Tech ID. If you are able to reset your password following these directions, you should be able to login to the N601B lab computers.

If you receive an error message of any kind while following the directions linked above, you should write it down or take a photo/screenshot of it. Then, contact the Student Helpdesk for further assistance. Their contact information and office hours are below–note that they have office hours before our class next Thursday :

I would like to welcome you all to our Fall 2022 ENG2700, Intro to Professional and Technical Writing class.

The advice above was given to me by two very busy and uniquely prolific people about how to be successful. At the top left, the fantasy and comic book author Neil Gaiman writes, “Finish Things.” In the lower right, the actor and writer Bruce Campbell extorts, “Get busy!” If you follow these two pieces of advice in all that you do now and in the future, you have a shot at being successful in your own right. So, please remember to “get busy,” and always, “finish things.”
