Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM. Iāll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the endāsince I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times donāt work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means youāll have to schedule an appointment in advance. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
