E-Mail Policy

Students are expected to check my.gallaudet.edu and their official university e-mail account regularly. I will respond to e-mails within 24-48 hours from Monday to Friday.

Office Hours

Many professors call these “office hours”, but I don’t. Others have caught on too. Sometimes students think that office hours mean that I’m busy in my office doing important things. Nope. This is a time when I’m absolutely waiting on you to “drop-in”. That’s it. So, drop in if you have any questions, want to discuss anything, or just want to say hi!

It will also incorporate the research design and methodology, a description of how the data will be treated and analyzed, and the significance and limitations of their proposed study.
