Introduction: Emily B

Hi everyone! My name is Emily B, and I am an Inclusive Childhood Education major with an ELA concentration (which is the reason why I am taking this course). I am from Fort Edward, NY; which is about fifteen minutes from Lake George, NY. In my spare time, I like to travel and spend time with family. Last semester, I did the Disney College Program, so this is my first semester back at Cortland. I am very excited to see how this course develops and can’t wait to get to know everyone.

Welcome

Welcome to “ENG252 – Intro to Multicultural Literature”! I’m Professor Savonick and this is my first year teaching at SUNY Cortland. Previously, I taught for five years at Queens College. I can’t wait for our semester together!

Prior to our first course session, there are a few things that you can do to ensure a smooth start to the semester.

  1. Read through the syllabus. I will make small adjustments throughout the semester, but this should give you a general idea of what will be covered in our course. We will go over the syllabus on the first day of class, so please come prepared with questions.
  2. Register to use this course site. Before you are able to access readings, blog, and comment on our course site, you will need to register. For this course, you will be writing blogs that are publicly available. For that reason, I encourage you to sign up for an account with a username that will not disclose your identity. Your username and name should include your first name and last initial and I recommend you set “Who is allowed to see this field?” to “All Members” so that only our class can identify you. Remember to save your username and password! Once you register, you should receive a confirmation email. I will then activate your account and you will be all set to read and write.
  3. You might find it useful to bookmark this site.

Enjoy the rest of break!
