Class Logistics & Office Hours
When Do We Meet, and Where?
Who is Teaching this Class?
I am. My name is Terri Senft, and you can read more about my own research at my web site, or my page on Academia.edu .
How can I reach you?
The fastest way is by email: [email protected]
Where should I go to find out what we are doing for class?
I would start here, and after a class has ended, I would look here.
When are your Office Hours?
I tend to meet with students often, and add office hour times to my schedule as warranted. The best (and only) way to book time is through the link to my Google calendar, which allows you to see what I have open and make your own appointment. You can find that calendar here on our class web site.
This semester, I will always have office hours on Wednesdays from 2-4 pm. I'll have others, as well, and keep you abreast of those. My office is on the Liberal Studies floor at 726 Broadway, Room 615. It's possibly the easiest room to find on that floor: right behind the main reception desk.
Some Notes About Appointment Etiquette
Please treat that appointment as you would any other professional engagement (i.e. a doctor’s appointment or a job interview) and give appropriate notice if you need to cancel your spot.
I treat appointments as writing meetings, which means I need to see what you are working on before you arrive to discuss it with me. My preference is that you send me what you want me to respond to the evening prior to meeting with me. This gives me time to read and think about ways for you to proceed. If you fail to email me what you want to work on, we waste precious meeting time: by the time you locate your document, get your network working, email me the document, and I have it to scan, half your appointment can fly by. Don’t short yourself in this way. The more advance warning and material your give me, the more you’ll get out of our sessions together.
Sometimes students have difficulty matching schedules with me for office appointments, but would be able to grab twenty minutes for a remote appointment. Those students might be interested in scheduling an appointment to do online chat meetings on Slack, Skype or Google Hangout. One benefit of an online chat meeting is that we produce actual text while talking, some of which you may be able to use in your writing.
