In-person meeting will take place primarily outside. Students are expected to remain masked for any indoor portion of class, however short-term, and if students cannot maintain social distancing outdoors.

Food As Memoir: Telling Your Story Through Recipes

Class meets online Friday: 6pm-9pm (eastern time), Saturday, and Sunday: 10am-1pm (eastern time).

Announcement:
In order to reflect CUNY's decision to hold distance-learning courses, BMCC Au Pair Experience will be continuing in an online format. Online courses will be held for the same number of credits as our in-person option.

Food has a way of transporting us back to a place or to the company of someone special, reminding us who we are and where we are from. Food triggers memories of family, friends, and moments in our past.

Bring your best - or worst - food memories and even those kitchen mishaps with you to class. We will discuss recipes, books, movies, and of course, cookbooks, and what we can do to savor the food experiences that we have had. Come prepared to share your stories and to laugh.

Each student will create a short cookbook of recipes that have a special place in your memory, which will then go into a class cookbook. The cookbook project will be a showcase of your collective families, friends, countries, cultures and places that influence you.

Your course will consist of a pre-assignment, independent coursework and final assignment as well as live online class sessions with your teacher/other au pairs. Credit for J-1 visa students is 36 hours. Students earning J-1 visa credit must attend all sessions and complete all homework.

You will receive details on how to log in to your online class sessions one day before the start of the course. Once the final online class session has concluded, you will have one week to submit your independent coursework and final assignment to your teacher.

Students are required to be present during all live online class sessions.

Harnessing the Power of Creativity: The Practice of Looking

During the past year, people have spent more time in their homes than ever before. Travel has been severely limited, cultural events are reduced or on pause, and we see fewer people for less time. These circumstances might tempt you to retreat onto your couch and wait for the world to reopen.

What if instead of looking outside of your surroundings for inspiration and new experiences, you had the tools to deeply connect with where you are? What could these skills add to your daily life, to your relationships, to your future education and career? Using fun and creative exercises, this class gives students the tools to feel more connected and see the wonder of the world more deeply wherever they are.

Students do not need to be experienced artists or have special art supplies to enjoy this class.

Our online classes consist of a pre-assignment, independent coursework, and final assignment, as well as live online class sessions with your teacher/other au pairs. Credit for J-1 visa students is 36 hours. Students earning J-1 visa credit must attend all sessions and complete all homework.

Students will receive a pre-assignment one week before class begins. Other independent coursework can be completed at your leisure before the deadline one week after online class ends.
