Student Contact with Pat

• You can contact me using the email and voicemail information posted on the course homepage, in the syllabus, and in the orientation module. 

• You can post questions, concerns, or problems in the general Q and A discussion in the Getting Started in Canvas Module to get feedback from other students or me. 

• You may come to my Zoom office hours (Monday 5:00--6:00 pm in the ESL Office, 2090 Lark Hall) to talk with me privately, email me for an appointment, or talk to me after class. 

Pat's Contact with Students

• I will send announcements once or twice a week to clarify issues that come up in the general Q and A discussions, to remind students of upcoming deadlines, and to fix any confusion that may happen.
• I will dedicate 10 minutes at the beginning of each Zoom session to answer students’ questions regarding tech or content problems.
