FOR LATER ASSIGNMENTS IN THE SEMESTER, HEAD’S UP: If you don’t already have one, please read the following BULLETIN on how to get a free subscription to the TIMES. You will want to have access for use in completing assignments. I also, btw, like it when students bring in a messy, newsprint, newsstand-purchased copy of the paper. It is old fashioned, and very, very REAL. Enjoy:
New York Times Academic Pass!
Thanks to CUNY Libraries, you and your students now have full complimentary access to NYTimes.com and NYTimes mobile apps, as well as their international editions. Please encourage your students to visit nytimes.com/passes to activate their own free Pass.
