Hello Students of section 5419!
This site will grow and develop during the semester, just like you will continue to grow and develop as critical readers and writers.
If you have any questions, please let me know via email:
sscanlan@citytech.cuny.edu
The course policy and weekly schedule are located in the Policy menu bar. Take some time to look around our course site; we will refer to it often.
Below are some interesting and informative posts from last semester. I think that they are still relevant.
Best wishes,
Prof. Scanlan

Facebook and Privacy:
Hi Class,
Many of you might be on Facebook, and you also might know that privacy is not really granted in the online world. This article from Time Magazine makes it clear that you need to be extra careful about what kind of information you put on your social media pages because colleges or employers—almost anybody—can gain access to it.
