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.
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: I have many regularly scheduled office hours. You may also request an appointment outside of these hours. Contact me on Canvas first.
Canvas discussion: Please post in the correct discussion.
Canvas message: Use this to communicate with me privately during the term. For example, you want me to check your work and you fear giving too much away to other students or you wish to discuss a private matter such as a grade.
Canvas 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 almost always be accepted if they are during office hours. And you are welcome to negotiate appointments outside of these hours. Contact me on Canvas first.
