I am reaching out to you to see if you can recommend any possible instructor for three Fall 2019 media-related classes that we currently cannot find someone to teach. These course historically have been taught by adjunct instructors, each of whom have scheduling conflicts for the Fall semester. The courses are being offered at Rose Hill (RH) campus in the Bronx (441 East Fordham Road, Bronx, NY 10458).
CISC2350-R01, Information and Web Programming, at RH campus, MR 5:30-6:45pm
CISC2540-R01, Introduction to Video Game Design, at RH campus, MR 4:00-5:15pm
CISC4650-R01, Cyberspace: Issues and Ethics, at RH campus, TF 1:00-2:15pm
The description for each course is provided below. I think typical alumni from your program would be good fits for the class. We are eager for any recommendation, and welcome interested alumni of your program to contact us.
Best,
Daniel Leeds
