hi everyone,
Today we reviewed the syllabus, learned each other’s names, and spent some time creating OpenLab accounts and joining the course site. Please make it a habit to check the course site regularly for the latest updates, reading and blogging assignments, and communications from me and from your classmates. Consult the Help or email openlab@citytech.cuny.edu if you have persistent OpenLab account issues. If you need assistance with logging into your City Tech email account, visit the Help Desk in the Welcome Center, Atrium first floor. If you wish to forward your City Tech emails to another email account, you can find instructions here.
For Wednesday, August 29 please read the Preface and Chapters 1 & 8 of the Badke textbook. Your blogging assignment is one reading response post of at least 100 words. If you have questions about creating and publishing a blog post, refer to the blogging guidelines or ask a question in the Comments, below.
The required textbook, Research Strategies by William Badke, is for sale in the college bookstore. If you decide not to buy the textbook from the City Tech bookstore, there are other ways to obtain it. You can download the textbook as a PDF from the publisher’s website for $10. You can also borrow a copy from the City Tech library’s reserve collection. Remember that reserve book loans are 2 hours, in-library use only. You’ll need to present your City Tech ID and the call number of the book (Z 710 B23 2011) to check out the reserve copy. If you buy a copy of the book from another seller, please be sure you get the 4th edition, published in 2011.
Looking forward to a productive semester!
~Prof. Leonard
