Office Hours
I hold office hours MW 3:30-4:00. If possible, please see me during that time. If you cannot make that time, please email me.
When to See Kirby and When to See Nanette/Arlene
Nanette and Arlene are useful for most administrative issues, simply because they know much more than I do on these topics. I am useful for those things that specifically require my approval and for questions of technical nature, including research, graduate school, and career advice.
For the following items, I recommend going to Nanette and/or Arlene:
- understanding how your schedule fits with department and concentration requirements
- understanding graduation requirements, including the senior design requirements
For the following items, I recommend coming to me:
- receiving pre-approval for "approved electives"
- technical advice on different courses
- advice on research
- advice on career goals
- advice on graduate school
Key things to do to keep things efficient
- if you cannot make office hours and email me to request a meeting, please BE SURE TO tell me why you want to meet.
- using the text "class schedule" in your email subject line will get your email through my email filters.
- if you want me to sign an "approved elective" form, you should first send me the course description and syllabus.
