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.
I will notify you of any planned absences through the course calendar on Canvas. I will notify you by email of any unexpected absences such as an illness or a family emergency.
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 online.
Office hours: I have many regularly scheduled office hours. You are free to stop by without an appointment. And you can ask for an appointment outside these hours.
Canvas message: This should be your default method for online communication.
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 automatically be accepted if they are during office hours and you are welome to negotiate appointments outside of thes hours. Contact me on Canvas first.
