My office hour is from 12 noon to 1 pm this Fall term.  My office is in Lampa room 13. My phone number is 541-888-1571.  If I am not in leave a message.

While that is my office hour, I am generally around my office when I am not teaching between 8 and 5 Monday through Friday.  Stop by to see if I am in.

I prefer you email me first as from time to time a meeting I have to attend is scheduled and I may not be at my office.  i don't want you to stop by and not find me if it is important.
