Getting Help:
Please never ever feel guilty about asking me for help, it is mormal to become confused and I am happy to help. The primary method for asking a question is via e-mail, but you can also send me your phone # and good times to call, and we can talk about your problem. I do not check my messages much during the summer, so I don't recommend you call my office.

If you would like to meet with me in person we can make an appointment to see me in my office. Don't forget that if you e-mail me you must include "CIS158.1" in the subject line, include your first and last name, the section # for your class, and then describe the problem as specifically as possible The more detailed your question, the easier it is to answer.
