Greetings From Your Instructor
Greetings From Your Instructor
My name is Ryan Bacchia (you can call me Prof. B), and I will be your online instructor for English 120/020. I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and sharing our ideas and knowledge about a variety of topics. One other thing to keep in mind about our class is that it's only 8 Weeks! As opposed to the normal 16 week semester, it will be highly accelerated and busy at times. Furthermore, since this class also includes the 020 element, there will additional supportive materials every week. Therefore, you will need to devote anywhere between six-nine hours per week to classwork, in order to be successful.
In this class, we will work together to learn about the writing process, paragraph and essay structures, and useful grammatical concepts. This is a collaborative process and we are all in this together 😄.
One more thing about me: I am passionate about reading and writing, but I also love doing other activities such as binge-watching new shows (I recently enjoyed Fallout and Deadloch), going to concerts (last year, I went to Coachella and Bottle Rock music festivals), traveling to new places (I went to St. Martin earlier this year), and hanging out with my Golden Chow Chow, Miles.
