Office Hours
Visiting your instructor during an office hour can help you succeed at De Anza. Sometimes you may not be sure if you understand the course material; you may be confused about an assignment; or you may feel that the instructor did not grade your work correctly. It is much better to come in and talk about it and solve the problem than it is to leave your issue unresolved.
Perhaps more importantly, a visit helps the instructor get to know you as a person. Many of us have several hundred new students each term! When you take the time to make a personal contact it helps the teacher make the connection between you and the name on the roll sheet.
Please visit me during my office hours, call 408-864-8511, or send email to mitchelldan@deanza.edu any time you have a question or problem relating to the course. You do not need an appointment to see me during an office hour, but you can make one if you prefer. My office is in room A15 in the A1 building located in the Arts Quad. My office hours are:
I may meet some or all of my office hours in room A91 rather than in my office. I'll make an announcement in class.

(Office hours are subject to change as announced in class and on my web sites.)
If you cannot visit during a scheduled office hour, I am available to meet at many other times by arrangement. Call me or send email to set up an alternate office visit. When I'm online you may be able to contact me at DeAnzaDan using Instant Messenger.

TEST #1 - Monday, May 19. The first of our two written tests is scheduled for next Monday, May 19. This test is based entirely on the two take-home quizzes that you recently completed. In order to be well-prepared for this test your goal should be to be ready to answer the quiz questions without using notes or other resources. In other words, review those quizzes! (And ask me to clarify anything you may be confused about.) |
