Policies
on
Office Hours
- 1) If it is important (yes, from your point
of view) that you see me as soon as possible,
you are ALWAYS--repeat: ALWAYS--welcome to come
to one of my classes and walk in or wait for the
class to end. If you walk in, I will stop the
class proceedings and I will give you my
undivided attention. To find out what classes I
am teaching, check the school class schedule via
your MYUB page.
- 2) Students, current as well as former
students, are ALWAYS (repeat: ALWAYS) welcome to
come and see me during my office hours--even
without prior notification! (I owe my job as a
teacher to you; therefore, I am here for you
amidst my other mandatory work commitments--e.g.
research. However, however, item 8 below also
applies!)
- 3) If you are in one of my courses,
make sure you have checked all the information
available about the course on the class home
page (announcements, syllabus packet, etc.) before
coming to see me. And always, always bring paper
and pen with you.
- 4) There will be no
office hours when classes, as per university
calendar, are not in session.
- 5) After the last day of classes, the
hours above will change.
- 6) You are ALWAYS welcome to bring an
escort with you (parent, grandparent, peer,
friend, and so on).
- 7) For the duration of the time you
are in my office I will give you my undivided
attention and I will expect the same from you;
therefore, all your electronic devices must be
switched off and in your bag--otherwise I may
prematurely cut short our meeting.
- 8) All e-mails you send me
must have an appropriate subject heading
and must begin and end with this
salutation and closure: Dear Dr.
.... and Sincerely.... Otherwise,
you may not get a response. (In case those
who raised you did not teach you this:
democracy and freedom does NOT mean a
license to be discourteous! Or an
entitlement to an unearned
sense of entitlement. Besides, you are not
my long lost cousin from Timbuktu! See my
policy on e-mails in the syllabus packet.)
