Glenn’s SPRING 2023 Office hours

Hours will generally be held both in-person (following campus COVID protocols). Remote meetings are possible. See information on process for remote meetings below.  

Hours will take place (between 1/24 and 5/17) as follows: 

  • Tuesdays, 3-5:30pm (No hours on 3/21 due to class conflict; Hours on 4/4 are by phone only (email me AT THE TIME that you want to meet (not prior) and I’ll provide details) 
  • Wednesdays, 1230-230pm (VIRTUAL ONLY all semester; No hours on 4/19 due to conflict with presidential inauguration)
  • Thursdays, 5:15-6:45 (NOTE: Office hours on Thursday, 5/11 will be from 3:30-4:45); No hours on Thursday, 4/20

Office Location: Wooster Hall 347.  

Note that I do not take appointments but, rather, my hours are “walk-in” / first-come, first serve. You may have to wait a little bit, but I always make sure to get to everyone. Also note that as my hours are “walk-in,” please do NOT email me ahead of time asking if it is OK to meet. The answer is always YES to that query–so you can simply assume the answer is YES.

Note also that I do not use Starfish or BrightSpace or any other software package for scheduling my hours. As stated above, they are “walk-in”–and I make a point to make every effort to get to all who are needing to meet with me. 

To meet with me remotely during my hours (generally less effective than in-person meetings, but sometimes necessary), please do the following:

  1. First, EMAIL ME to let me know that you are about to enter my WebEx waiting room (this email must come DURING my office hours). Join my WebEx room during my  hours. You will start in the “waiting room” and I will add you in when there’s an opening. 
  2. If that is not feasible, we can FaceTime or just have a phone call. If this is best for you, please email me DURING MY OFFICE HOURS to let me know and we’ll figure it out.*

Evolution is nothing more than a “statistical bias in the rate of perpetuation of alternatives.” G. C. Williams (1966, p. 22).

“Even though the cavemen don’t seem like they were having much fun, I bet they were!” M. Geher (2012).
