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
