by Caroline K. Hong 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

Dear Graduate Students, Hope you're all continuing to take care, especially as we enter the home stretch of this semester. If you think you'll be completing your MA in Fall 2022 and are planning to take ENGL 791 and write your thesis essay next semester, please read on. Please start by watching this 13-minute video on "*Preparing for ENGL 791 <https://youtu.be/36_Kdwa5zrc>*." The video was recorded last year, so the dates are incorrect, but all the other info is still relevant—what the thesis essay is, how to find an advisor, how to sign up for ENGL 791, write an effective proposal, etc. I've attached here a handout of the updated slides for Fall 2022, which includes the correct deadline for submitting your ENGL 791 sign-up form and proposal, *August 5, 2022*. I've also attached copies of the sign-up form and the sample proposals. After watching the video, if you're planning to take ENGL 791 and write your thesis essay in Fall 2022, please *reply to this email to let me know and include your 8-digit CUNY ID #*. I'll follow up to confirm that you'll be ready to take ENGL 791 in the fall and then send you the Guide to ENGL 791 and add you to the 791 email list. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Best, Caroline -- Dr. Caroline Kyungah Hong Associate Professor of English Director of Graduate Studies (English MA) Queens College, CUNY *she/her/hers* * Please note that I am off email on weekends and will respond to your email during business hours, Monday–Friday 9am–5pm, generally within 1–2 business days.

[EnglishMA] Summer Session 1 begins today + updates
by Caroline K. Hong 06 Jun '22

06 Jun '22

Dear Graduate Students, A reminder that the first *4-week summer session* begins today. If you are enrolled in Prof. Rhoda Sirlin <https://qcenglish.commons.gc.cuny.edu/people/rhoda-sirlin/>'s ENGL 681 or Prof. Edward Currie <https://qcenglish.commons.gc.cuny.edu/people/edward-currie/>'s ENGL 719, you should hear from them about how to access their online classes. If you don't hear from them by the end of today, you should email them as they may not have your contact info. And there's still time to register for the *6-week summer session* that begins on July 5 (see the summer course descriptions here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KttN-wljuoeXOtxDIl47ZDcLncsv0J3KIr6lrhj…> ). Another reminder to please *register for your Fall 2022 courses*, if you haven't already (see the updated fall course descriptions here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rF6y6KAv_fhymlnL05PiH0SRcOBW6BSLGAXixrz…>). There are still plenty of open seats, including in ENGL 701, 639, 726, 728, 742, and 781-02. Please note that ENGL 726, ENGL 728, ENGL 742, and ENGL 781-02 will now all be *hybrid* courses (meaning they will occasionally meet online instead of only in person), to offer the most flexibility for our students. Professors <https://qcenglish.commons.gc.cuny.edu/people/faculty/> for hybrid and fully online courses will be in touch by the start of the fall semester with instructions on how to access your classes. As always, please email us both if you have any questions or need advising or support. FYI, we are both traveling late June to mid-July and may be slower to respond to emails during that time (most faculty are slower to respond over the summer, as we travel and focus on our research). But we will respond as soon as we can. Please stay safe and healthy and keep taking care of yourselves! Best, Caroline & Hillary, your Directors of Graduate Studies in English -- Dr. Caroline Kyungah Hong Associate Professor of English Director of Graduate Studies (English MA) Queens College, CUNY *she/her/hers* * Please note that I am off email on weekends and will respond to your email during business hours, Monday–Friday 9am–5pm, generally within 1–2 business days.
