Spring 2022:
I am generally in my office on Mondays from noon to a little before 4:00.
Sometimes I have meetings or come in late, so check first.
I am also available other times via Zoom, by appointment. Contact me via email for the Zoom meeting ID.
Maria's office hours are on the tutoring page; look for her under the schedules for Monday and Wednesday. Of course, you may get help from any of the tutors, but Maria will know more about our assignments.

Labs should be done during the lab period. If you're not able to do that, they should be submitted by Friday.
Sometimes you may be asked to resubmit assignments; as a general rule a resubmitted assignment will never receive a higher grade than that of someone who I didn't feel needed to resubmit. You do, however, get some grace regarding lateness when you resubmit. It is always better to submit what you have on time.
I may have you pair up to do some assignments.
My general course groundrules are here.
