Communication
Instructor Policies
I will not provide any personal or academic information to people besides Chemeketa employees without your specific permission (this is a legal requirement of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act).
I will respond to communication within one working day (unless it is during online office hours in which case I will usually respond immediately). I will grade work within one week of the due date (typically much faster) and post grades to Canvas.
Methods
There are many ways to contact me, but please use an appropriate venue and file format for attachments. You are always safe with a .pdf with upright images and the pages in order. Consult the following when deciding how to communicate with me and other students:
Office hours: This should be your default method for contacting me to discuss your homework, grades, or anything else about the class.
Slack channel: Please post in appropriate channels.
Slack direct message: Use this to communicate with me privately during the term. For example, you are going to be absent or you wish to discuss a grade.
Canvas message or assignment comment: Please don’t use these.
Email: This is how to reach me before or after the term. Also use it for formal matters during the term such as a request for an incomplete grade, prolonged absences, discussion of disability accommodations, or academic honesty issues. Send me emails only from your Chemeketa email address.
Zoom: You can set up appointments. They will automatically be accepted if they are during office hours and you are welcome to negotiate appointments outside of these hours. Contact me on Slack first.
