[MAEnglish] 791 Workshop for prospective thesis writers - Monday May 6 5:30-7:00
by Andrea Walkden 01 May '13

01 May '13

Dear Graduate Students, A reminder that if you're planning to register for ENGL 791 and write your culminating thesis essay in the fall, please make every effort to attend the 791 workshop on Monday May 6, between 5:30-7:00 in Klapper 710. You're welcome to arrive late or leave early depending on your work and class schedule. Wine, soda, and snacks will be served. The workshop will be led by Professor Duncan Faherty and myself. I'll run through the practical arrangements for 791 and talk about how to plan and structure your time effectively, but the workshop will mostly focus on how to take a paper you've already written for one of your MA classes and thoroughly rework it into a successful culminating thesis essay. All best wishes, Andrea Walkden Assistant Professor of English Director of Graduate Studies, MA Program andrea.walkden(a)qc.cuny.edu English Department Klapper Hall, Room 604 Queens College, CUNY

Dear Graduate Students, I have two quick notices: 1. The Registrar's Office has extended the graduation deadline for Spring 2013 until Friday March 8 (this Friday!). If you missed the filing deadline for graduation, please go in person to the Registrar's Office to file. Online filing is no longer available on CUNYFirst. 2. With apologies for this further disruption but my advising hours on Monday March 11 will only be running from 5:50-7:00pm, . I'll also be available for advising during the afternoon of Wednesday March 13, by appointment only. Please email me to schedule a meeting time.

[MAEnglish] Announcements re: graduation, registration, change to office hours
by Andrea Walkden 21 Feb '13

21 Feb '13

Dear Students, I hope the semester has got off to a good start for everyone. Please read the 3 important announcements below: 1. Attendance Rosters The faculty are asked by the College to verify the attendance roster for all MA classes by the middle of next week. Please take a moment to sign into your record on CUNYFirst and double check that you're registered for all the classes that you're attending. Each semester, a couple of students discover late in the day that they're not registered for classes when they thought they were. It's much easier to sort out the bureaucratic tangle if registration errors are caught early and before attendance registers are officially in. 2. Filing for Graduation The deadline to file for graduation for a May 30 degree conferral is March 1 The deadline to file for graduation for a September 1 degree conferral is April 1 You must apply for graduation via your student record on CUNYFirst before the relevant filing deadline has passed. If you have any academic questions regarding graduation, please let me know. Procedural questions should be directed to the Office of the Registrar, via the One Stop Center, located in the Dining Hall, Room 128. The College's graduation policies are explained in full here: http://www.qc.cuny.edu/registrar/graduation/Pages/GraduationPolicies.aspx 3. Change to Office Hours Next Week I will not be holding my regular office hours next week on Monday, February 25. Instead, I'll be holding make-up hours on Wednesday February 27, from 2:00-5:00. I apologize for this change which has to do with another academic commitment that cannot be rescheduled. My regular office hours will resume the following week. Regular office hours for the MA program are as follows: Andrea Walkden, Director of Graduate Studies Office: Klapper 604 Email: <mailto:andrea.walkden@qc.cuny.edu> andrea.walkden(a)qc.cuny.edu Office Hours: Mondays, 4:30-7:00pm, and by appointment Caroline Hong, Assistant Director of Graduate Studies Office: Klapper 636 Email: <mailto:caroline.hong@qc.cuny.edu> caroline.hong(a)qc.cuny.edu Office Hours: Tuesdays 3:30-6:30pm, and by appointment All best wishes, Andrea Walkden Assistant Professor of English Director of Graduate Studies, MA Program <mailto:andrea.walkden@qc.cuny.edu> andrea.walkden(a)qc.cuny.edu English Department Klapper Hall, Room 604 Queens College, CUNY
