Hello!

Hi everyone!

My name is Paul Fess, and this is my third year teaching at LaGuardia. Before coming to the College I taught at the University of Alabama and the University of Rochester. But, before that I taught at several CUNY schools as part of my graduate program at the CUNY Graduate Center. 

I specialize in nineteenth-century American literature and culture, and I love playing blues and jazz guitar. These days, though, I mostly hang out with these people, my son Andrzej (pronounced “An-jay”), and my wife Krystyna. These are pictures from our trip Poland to see Krystyna’s mom from last summer when we could still travel.

  5. My name is Avinash Mudwari. In 2017, I came to the USA from Nepal. I have been at LAGCC since the spring of 2019. My major is Liberal arts in Math and Science. I believe this ENG course helps me to improve my writing ability and develop my communication skills.
    Let me talk about my interests. I like listening to pop music. I love photography and always go out and take pictures of trees, birds, and buildings. My favorite place to visit is Australia because there are many unique animals, for example, koalas, kangaroos. I am a friendly person and always ready to make new friends. I hope I will try my best to get good grades for this course.

  6. Good afternoon professor,

My favorite hobbies are watching my favorite tv shows, spending time with close friends and recording videos for my youtube channel. I’m excited to learn new things in this class.

  9. Hi professor.
    My name is Shumin Ma. I am from China and this is my second semester in LAGCC. My major is Radiologic Technology (pre-candidacy). In my spare time, I enjoy watching travel vlogs on YouTube the most. Also, I am a fan of yoga.
    Honestly, writing through literature is really a great challenge for me because I know little about poems and drama. Hopefully I can have a better knowledge about literature and improve my writing skills in this course.
