You are welcome to come by with questions, comments, and concerns. If you are enjoying a reading and would like to discuss it further, if you are having a problem with something in the course, if you don't understand something, come and see me. I also am happy to work with you on your paper during office hours, whether it is to work with you at the brainstorming stage or to give you some feedback on a draft. The most efficient way to get in touch with me outside of class time and office hours is email. The English Department does not provide faculty with voice mail, so I have an answering machine on my office phone, but I check that only on days when our class meets.
Email is by far the best option.
I will use email to contact class members in case class is canceled because of snow or some other emergency, or if I want to pass on useful information about the class. Although I will not hold you responsible for information distributed by email, it may be to your advantage to give me your email address so that you will receive such updates. With Your Classmates Your classmates are an integral part of your English 484 experience. This email exchange is voluntary, so if someone declines to give you his or her email address, please respect that choice.
