Hi everyone, Just a reminder that, if you're planning to enroll in ENGL 791 (the thesis essay course) or ENGL 795 (an independent study), the sign-up forms are due today, *Wednesday, January 31*. For ENGL 791, the form can be downloaded from our website at http://english.qc.cuny.edu/files/2014/02/ENGL-791-sign-up-form.docx and should be emailed to caroline.hong@qc.cuny.edu. For ENGL 795, the form is available at http://english.qc.cuny.edu/files/2014/11/ENGL-795-sign-up-form.docx and should be emailed to worchard@qc.cuny.edu. Also, if you're taking ENGL 791 this semester or working on finishing up an INC in 791 from a previous semester, please save the dates for our three *791 workshops* for the spring: 1. Wednesday, February 28, from 6:30-8:00pm (room TBA) 2. Wednesday, March 21, from 6:30-8:00pm (room TBA) 3. Wednesday, May 2, from 6:30-8:00pm (room TBA) These workshops offer support and practical resources as you write and revise your thesis essays. You'll have opportunities to get feedback on your works-in-progress, ask candid questions and share concerns, and receive guidance outside of meetings with your advisor. Though attendance is not mandatory, we strongly encourage you to come. Students in past semesters have found the workshops enormously helpful. I'll send out another announcement soon about what to prepare for the first workshop. As always, if you have any questions, please get in touch with me or Bill. Hope your spring semesters are off to a great start!
