Office Hours


On nights that we have class, I'll hold office hours from 6:15 to 7:00 PM in Room 1707 (the consulting center room across the hall from my office) of the Nguyen Engineering Building. Knock on my office door (Room 1706) to get my attention if you don't find me in 1707. I'm also willing to hang around in the classroom and answer questions for 30 minutes after class.

I can make an appointment to meet with you outside of my scheduled office hours (but since it's sometimes hard to find time to meet about STAT 544 outside of my scheduled office time, I strongly advise you to try to make use of my regular office hours). Rather than ask me about this in person, it'll be much better if you send me an e-mail request for an appointment (so that I can carefully look at my calendar and consider my schedule before suggesting or commiting to a particular appointment time).

Important note: When dropping off late HW papers, or anything else, try to put them under my office door in the Nguyen Engineering Building (Room 1706). Be sure to send me an e-mail indicating that you turned in your paper late (with late meaning that you did not turn it in at the classroom on the nominal due date). This is especially important if you fax your paper, since while I am often in my office at nights and on the weekend, I usually don't check the fax machine unless I'm expecting an arrival. (Another important note: On weekends and during the hours between 11 PM and 6 AM on weekdays, the Engineering Building is sometimes locked (and one needs to use an ID card set up to unlock the doors to get in). So you may want to avoid dropping off anything during these hours unless your ID card is set up to unlock the doors. (Lately, the Engineering Building has been unlocked when I've arrived between 9:00 AM and 10:00 PM on the weekends.) Of course the best thing is to be efficient and turn your paper in during class.
