Office hours

Q: Do you have office hours today?

A: My office hours are listed on my website. If I have cancelled them I will typically tell my classes in advance and/or email the class via MyUNLV.

Q: Will you be in your office during office hours?

A: Yes, unless they were cancelled. If I step out then I will put a sign on my door stating when I will be back (usually within 10-15 minutes). I usually do this if there is some short meeting I need to attend, to use the bathroom, or to get some food.

Q: Can I come by your office hours?

A: Yes, you do not need to ask.

Q: Can I set an appointment during your office hours?

A: No. I've found that it's too complicated to allow people to set appointments during office hours. Often times students will show up late or not at all and then I am waiting on a student to show up for an appointment while other students are there and waiting. If you want to be sure that you see me during office hours I suggest showing up either before my office hours begin or when they are almost over.

Q: I can't come to your office hours, is there another time I can meet you?

A: Absolutely. I understand that students may have other classes, work, or other commitments during my office hours. To meet outside of office hours, you must send me an email at least 24 hours in advance of when you wish to meet. I also have other commitments so there's no guarantee that we'll be able to agree upon a time, but I will make every effort to accommodate you.
