Office Hours

My fall 2024 office hours will be held Wednesdays 3-5, and by appointment.  Please sign up for a block of time here.   The sign-up sheet will be updated every Wednesday after 5pm, with new times available for the following Wednesday.  Because a major construction project is underway just outside my office window, some of my office hours this semester will be held via Zoom. Each week's sign-up sheet will indicate whether office hours will be in person or on Zoom.  Even when I am holding office hours in person, you will have the option to meet with me via Zoom. If you would like to meet but are unable to attend office hours at the scheduled time, or if you can't access the sign-up sheet, please get in touch with me via email.
