Greetings From Your Instructor
Greetings From Your Instructor
My name is Marvelyn Bucky, and I will be your online instructor for English C1000/20, section 5357/3797. I am so excited to learn, write, and share with you this semester!
In this class, we will work together to improve our reading, writing, and critical thinking skills by engaging with the course theme: Resilience in our Academic, Professional, and Personal Lives. We will have many opportunities to share cultural knowledge, discuss real-world problems from diverse perspectives, undertake collaborative work, and give and receive feedback on our writing.
As someone who loves language and writing, I am excited to take on this journey with all of you. Remember, this classroom is one of exchange, and we will be sharing and learning from one another, so I hope that we will all be active and respectful participants in our classroom. 😄
