Welcome to Technical Writing Announcement.  

Hi class,

My name is Professor Felicia Williams, and I will be your instructor for Technical Writing this term. Welcome to class!

If you have questions about this course or about any of the materials for this week, I hold office hours on Sunday evenings, 6:00PM - 8:00PM. Please email me via Canvas Inbox to schedule appointments in advance so I can set up a WebEx meeting.  Please see the Syllabus for my full contact and office hours information.

If you have questions or if issues arise this semester, please contact me sooner than later. It is easier to help in real time rather than after the incident has taken place.

Lastly, please make sure to look over the Useful Information and Resources section of our syllabus.  NCTC has many resources to help you be successful both in school and in your everyday life, and our syllabus contains links to many of those resources.  

I'm excited to have you in class this term, and I look forward to working with each of you over the coming weeks!

Professor Williams
