Getting in touch with your instructor...
- Email: I actually read and respond to emails. I check email frequently during the workday but limit my email time after work hours and on weekends.
Please be patient, but if I don't reply by the end of the next working day then feel free to email me again – there's always a chance your first email
got buried under urgent emails (or spam ...) and I appreciate the nudge!
- Office Hours: Just stop by! You don't need an appointment to drop by my office. If you want to meet over Zoom, you will need to make and
keep an appointment, because I am uncomfortable sitting on Zoom with no one there. I am also available over Discord (username in the syllabus, behind the SUNY
Oswego login...). Join the CSA Discord server (link in digital syllabus) and send me a message! We can use the voice channels and the text channels to stay in
contact. Just be aware that if you message me in Discord outside of office hours, I won't respond until office hours or until I'm free.
- Other times: If my office door is open then you are welcome to stop in and ask if I'm available. I may be! If I'm busy, we can make an appointment to
meet up later on.
