Hello, My name is Miriam Hahn. I am attending New York City College of Technology and majoring in Dental Hygiene. I am excited to be back in school and sharpen my mind more. I currently work as a Human Resource Associate for a nursing company. This is the work I did for my ENG 1101 online class. It includes three unit assignments I was given throughout the semester, an artist statement on unit three’s assignment, a time capsule that I wrote at the beginning of the semester with a comment from the end of the semester, and my final reflection.

Principles of Chemistry Lab-
This laboratory course is a co-requisite for Principles of Chemistry Lecture.
One three hour laboratory meeting per week and a total of 15 meetings per semester.
The study of sources, physical and chemical characteristics of materials used in dentistry. To acquaint the student with the chemical and physical properties of those dental materials and devices which are most commonly used in dental practice. Emphasis is placed on how such properties may affect the care and manipulation of those materials and devices. To understand the properties of materials as they relate to the proper use of or the care and maintenance of these materials, when providing dental hygiene care. The Dental Hygienist role in the recommended use of dental materials, as well as, the care and maintenance are stressed throughout the didactic and laboratory components of this course.
The laboratory exercises scheduled in this course complement the didactic lecture and offer the student clinical and laboratory experience in the manipulation and application of dental materials commonly used in operative, restorative, and preventative procedures.
My last assignment was to write a final reflection on how I think my semester went. Also, to write what I learned about myself as a writer and reader. I added three quotes to my writing to demonstrate my mistakes and growth throughout this semester.
In this project, I was told to use the information I gathered in my annotated bibliography and portray it in a genre of my choice that I felt would best explain the information to the audience I am trying to reach.
