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.
