Half of my time is spent teaching CVEN 305 and CVEN 446. During the remaining hours I serve as a Departmental Adviser and have limited time for tutoring. Please plan on assistance either during my office hours, or see the tutor during their office hours. On MWF from 10:00 and on TR from 10:30 until I go to classes I am preparing for my upcoming classes. Please note that you won't find me during those hours. Don't wait until just before class to get help or you likely won't get any. I try and keep my calendar up to date, and to add unexpected meetings as they arise. However, it will always be in your best interests to call before you come by, unless you are already in the area. |
