My Office:  Writing Center, 5th Floor Young Library

Office Phone: 257-1368 (Writing Center) & 257-4831 (Writing Initiative, answering machine)

Office Hours:   These are the hours that I save each week just for you.  As of September 1, my office hours will be Wednesdays from 10:30-12:30 & by appointment.  I will keep my office hours in The Writing Center, 5th Floor of Young Library.  I will let you know when office hours need to be rescheduled.

Email: I do not accept excuses via email, and I have a powerful spam filter that sometimes “junks” people’s mail.  I also receive at least 200 messages per day. Thus, this is the least reliable form of communication with me; DO NOT USE EMAIL TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME ABOUT CLASS.   I respond happily to phone calls and personal visits.

 

Because this course meets only two days a week, and because both attendance and preparation are vital to your success in this class, you should make sure you have contact information for others in the class.
