It’s February already?! Assigned reading & blogging for Monday, February 2

Hi everyone,

For Monday, February 2, there are 2 assigned readings, one from the required textbook and one online:

Chapter 1 of Research Strategies by Badke (required textbook; download or order here)
Reinhold, “Study says Technology could Transform Society” (The New York Times, 14 June 1982.)

Your blogging assignment is to write one 100-word minimum blog post in response to these readings. If you can’t buy or download a copy of the required textbook in time, remember you can get it on reserve in the City Tech library with this call number: Z710 .B23 2014.

On Monday we’ll talk about traditional print media, including a brief history and an overview of the lifecycle of print media.

Please get in touch via email or OpenLab message if you have any questions about signing up for the OpenLab or joining the course. I’ll send reminders to anyone who isn’t signed up within a day or 2.

Glad to have met you all and looking forward to an interesting semester!

~Prof. Leonard
