Week 10 & Week 11

Dear class,

As I mentioned in class, I am posting the agendas for both Week 10 and Week 11 at the same time. I have put both agendas here in this post.

Week 10: For the week of April 4th please remember the following changes:

  1. You will have asynchronous classes on both Monday 4/4 and Wednesday 4/6. In other words, do not come to our in-person class on Wednesday 4/6.
  2. Office hours for Monday, 4/4 are canceled. You can email with any questions or concerns, but I will not be able to respond as quickly as usual.

Week 11: For the week of 4/11 please remember the following:

  1. This week we are back to our usual pattern for ours classes, which means an asynchronous class on Monday and an in-person class on Wednesday.
  2. Week 11 has three due dates listed, because your Unit 2 project is due by the end-of-day Friday, 4/15.

Finally, three general reminders:

  1. Make sure you look at the feedback I wrote in response to your March 28th posts.
  2. Remember that you can work with the writing center at any stage of the writing process for Unit 2 and for help revising Unit 1. Here is the link for making an appointment: https://citytechwritingcenter3766.setmore.com
  3. If you still haven’t done it, here is the link to sign up for your free NYTimes subscription/academic pass: https://library.citytech.cuny.edu/help/how/nytimes.php
