Office Hours
Office hours for this class will be immediately after this class for one hour and in addition by appointment:
For those of you wanting to see me during office hours, you must make an appointment with me or the department assistants. The assistants in turn will have to allocate an available office in UPC, in our department, RB 250.
My office is located at BBC (A-II 120D) and is therefore unreasonable and inconvenient for both students and myself to drive up from UPC to BBC just to hold an appointment in the official FIU allocated office.
Contact me first for an appointment or further assistance by email (gk@fiu.edu) or see me in class. Email response time depends on the volume of emails but I expect it to be within 1-2 working days.
