Instructor Information

Welcome to our course!

I am your Instructor, Dr. Amy L. Friedman.

It's my 16th year teaching in the Temple English Department and First Year Writing Program. But that has been all at main campus in Philadelphia; this is my first visit to Japan.

I have been to China, though. This is a picture of me standing in front of a giant lit-up lemon in Beijing, China, in February 2024
