Office Hours (Fall 2008)

I am guaranteed to be in my office, SSC122, or lab, SSC 114, at the above times unless I am called away due to unforeseen circumstances. In addition to these office hours I am generally available weekday afternoons when I am not in class (times listed below). There is a paper to the left of my door (over the office number) with a movable flag that details where I am at any given moment.
