Professor Cat

I know a few of you were asking what I will be teaching over the summer so here it is:

Summer I

HIS-111-001 M-Th 8:10-9:55am
HIS-102-001 M-Th 10:15am-12:00pm

Summer II

HIS-102-101 M-Th 8:10-9:55am
HIS-101-101 M-Th 10:15am-12:00pm

My husband is very sick and we were up all night. Therefore, I’m canceling my classes today. See individual class pages for homework.

As of this morning, my office is now in A-332.  Please make note of this new room change as it seems to be a permanent one…for now.

…the forecast has been lowered down to 3-5″ of snow where I live.  That means I WILL be in today for classes.

I just got the e-mail from the school:

Bergen Community College will remain closed on Thursday, February 11th. Normal class schedules will resume on Friday, February 12th.

Rare moments in history.  Not one but two snow days in a row!  Go enjoy the snow.  I’m going to enjoy another day in my PJs (just kidding).  Snowball fight!

That’s right ladies and gentlemen.  We have tomorrow off.  Sleep in and enjoy the snow day.  I know I will.  I will post up specific info to each of my Monday/Wednesday classes tomorrow.  Check the class pages then.

I just looked at the weather and tomorrow is shaping up to look pretty nasty.  As of right now, all of New Jersey is a dark purple meaning that we’re going to get at least a foot of snow within the next 48 hours.

Now I will be honest and say I’m skeptical about this storm especially after the lack of a single snowflake with the last one.  However, if this prediction is accurate, there  is a good chance BCC will be closed tomorrow.

Keep an eye on this website tonight and into tomorrow to see what the final word will be, whether from me or from BCC.  Either way, keep safe.

A few of you have submitted assignments that were in Word format rather than Rich Text format.  I’ve returned them to you to be redone.  In the meantime, those of you who are unsure as to how to save a file as Rich Text, here are some instructions.

Word 2007

• Click on the Office button on the top left hand corner of your screen.
• Go down to “Save As” and select “Other Formats.”
• A new dialogue box will open.  Towards the bottom of that dialogue box will be “Save as Type” and it will automatically say “Word 2007 (*.docx).”  You want to change that.  There is an arrow pointing down next to it.  Click on that and scroll down until you see “Rich Text File (*.rtf)” and then select that.

Word 2003 and older

• Click on “File” and then “Save As.”
• A new dialogue box will open.  Towards the bottom of that dialogue box will be “Save as Type” and it will automatically say “Word (*.doc).”  You want to change that.  There is an arrow pointing down next to it.  Click on that and scroll down until you see “Rich Text File (*.rtf)” and then select that.

That’s all there is to it.  E-mail me if you have any questions or problems.
