We will devote most of our class time to discussions and group activities. If these discussions and activities are to be productive, everyone must feel comfortable participating, so please help build an atmosphere of mutual respect. Be ready to talk, but be an active listener as well. If sharing ideas comes easily to you, be sure that you allow room for others to talk as well. If you are shy about sharing your thoughts, try asking a question instead.
Questions can often provoke the most interesting discussions.
During my scheduled office hours, I will be in my office with the door open. Feel free to drop by unannounced. If you want to see me at a particular time during these hours, e-mail me and I will reserve a bloc of time for you. If you cannot make my office hours, call or e-mail and we will set up another time to meet.
