EXPECTATIONS:

I expect students to act as their own advocates, to make sure that their education is working for them. This means that if a student has a concern or a question, she or he will talk to me directly before class or after class, or email or call me.'

Students must make appointments to make up work in a timely manner, according to the school policy.
