Something I found difficult about doing this type of research was looking for a peer reviewed journal because there were so many and they were too long to read. What surprised me was the new information I learned about animal cruelty. For future classes I can use this to make annotated bibliographies or when I have to do a research paper. I also learned how to use the City Teach library website.

Email: jpenner@citytech.cuny.edu
Class Meetings & Times: Mondays & Wednesdays, 4-5:40 PM, in Namm 521
Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12 – 1 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
