Office Hours

I will be  available for either campus office appointments or Zoom appointments at any reasonable time
outside of classroom hours, open office hours, and any previously posted appointments.

I should be able to accommodate any request made at least one day in advance of the desired appointment.
If you see me in class or in my campus office, you may request an appointment for the same day.

To make a campus office or  Zoom appointment, please check my calendar and request a specific day and time, by email.
When I confirm the appointment, I will then be in my office at the agreed upon time, or I will send you the Zoom meeting ID number and password.
