On Monday, we'll meet in lecture via Zoom. We will get started at 12:30 PM. Please log into Zoom using your NYU credentials using this link to ensure that you have the correct permissions for class. During lecture, I'll (finally and excitedly!) introduce myself to you all, go over some quick reminders for the week, and then introduce our guest speakers, Dr. Matthew Frenkel (NYU Libraries) and one of our writing faculty, Prof. Duncan Osborne. They will discuss technical writing in our course and resources available to you through the university's library system. Your recitation instructors will go into these assignments in more depth during class.

In lab, you will complete Skills Workshop 2. Please complete the pre-lab activity for next week:

1. You should have received an e-mail from Autodesk inviting you to join our license for the software, using your NYU credentials. As NYU students, you have access to Autodesk software such as Fusion, which you will use to create renderings of designs for your SLDP. Please follow the instructions from the link to verify your student status and log into your account. 
2. Watch the following videos ahead of your lab:
   1. Skills Workshop 2: Prelab Activity - What is CAD?
   2. Skills Workshop 2: Prelab Activity - Introduction to Autodesk Fusion
3. Read the description of the exercise.

That's all for now! Have a great weekend, and let me know if you have any questions or concerns! :)
