AVAILABILITY

Please contact me by email or phone. I will respond to email and phone inquiries within one business day (Saturdays and Sundays are not business days, nor are College holidays). I will post notifications when necessary in the Moodle Announcements; you should get email notification of these. Students are expected to see and respond to communications from me on the same time frame, by the end of the following business day. You should plan to check your Carroll email at least once a day.

Preferred mode of address

We live in an age of confusion about formality and appropriate address of each other. This is especially true of college, and Carroll is not an exception. I realize that there is variance among my colleagues about how they prefer to be addressed. I have always attended more formal academic settings, and find comfort and familiarity with the use of honorifics and titles; hence I prefer to be called “Dr. Smillie.”
