TO SET UP A MEETING: CONTACT ME BY PHONE: The VERY BEST WAY TO REACH ME IS AT MY CELL PHONE AT (806) 584-7569 between 9 AM and 9 PM, any day of the week.

PLEASE...NO TEXTING: Please note that I DO NOT TEXT MY STUDENTS and I DO NOT ACCEPT TEXT MESSAGES. If you can text me, then you can call me! AGAIN, my cell phone is 806 584-7569! If there is an occasion where I am traveling or cannot respond to you in a timely manner by phone, I will let you know that you can text me for that period of time. However, outside of that, PLEASE CALL! I enjoy talking to my students! If you text me, I will not respond to you! Sorry...I want to handle all student business over the phone or in an email!

If I'm not available when you call, I will call you back so please tell me your name, the best time to call you AND WHAT CLASS YOU ARE IN! That way, I can better answer your questions! Thanks! Also, we can set up a face to face conference if you want to!

EMAIL ME: You can also email me through the BLACKBOARD COURSE EMAIL feature! Again, if you email me outside the CLASSROOM ONLINE EMAIL SYSTEM, your email may not get to me. It may be treated as spam. SO, USE THE EMAIL FUNCTION IN THE ONLINE CLASS! It's in the MENU to the left of the screen and it says Send an EMAIL! Click on that and then select SEND AN EMAIL TO THE INSTRUCTORS in the CLASS!

OFFICE HOURS and APPOINTMENT TIMES:

SPRING- II - 2021: March 22nd through May 14th: I will be ON CAMPUS in my office in DUTTON HALL 202J Monday and Wednesday from 10:30 to 12:00 pm. I have a 9 am to 10:15 am course, as well as a Monday-Thursday 12:30 pm to 1:45 pm course. Please call me so we can set up an appointment time that works for you. We can meet virtually or somewhere where we can socially distance effectively (not in my office!) I have a virtual office in COLLABORATE where we can also meet face to face if you need tutoring or just to chat, if you prefer.

If you want to meet with me outside of those hours, I'm happy to do that. Please call me and we can set up a time to meet. As well, I'm happy to meet with you on a FACETIME CALL or in our COLLABORATE MEETING PLACE ONLINE! I am happy to tutor you in any way I can so you can succeed in this course! Please call me at 806 584-7569 to meet with me on any other day. I appreciate you calling me first on my cell phone if you want to meet with me in my office so that I can prepare to meet you in order to protect both of us from COVID exposure. Thank you!

SO YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE COLLABORATE: There will be a video for you to watch as to how to attend COLLABORATE MEETINGS in your COURSE MENU LIST. Go online to your BLACKBOARD CLASS and you will see it in the MENU LIST to the LEFT OF THE SCREEN. As well, please feel free to call me if you are still not sure how to use COLLABORATE for your online meeting. I am happy to do anything I can do to assist you during this difficult semester! Please call me at 806 584-7569 and let's figure out a time to work with you!

NEED MORE HELP: Call me! I can tutor you. If you need more help with tutoring in the class you are in, we can get you set up with the folks at the STUDENT SUCCESS TUTORING CENTER can help you. We will work online or over the phone, in COLLABORATE or we can facetime until the advisories for social distancing pass.

FOR ONLINE CLASSES or ON-CAMPUS TECHNOLOGY ASSISTED CLASSES: THE BEST WAY TO SET UP AN INDIVIDUAL APPOINTMENT is to CALL ME ON MY CELLPHONE at 806 584-7569.

FOLKS: Please, I give you my cell phone number so you can call me between 9 am and 9 pm, 7 days a week! Feel free to CALL me OR EMAIL ME SO WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHERE AND WHEN we can either visit by phone or in person! Please do not abuse your privilege of having my cell number.
