Class Procedures and Reminders
My schedule. I don't check email as often on the weekends, and on Saturday in particular I will probably not be available, but please send me any questions you have. If it's something urgent, I'll be sure to get back to you as soon as I can! If it's not urgent, I'll get back to you on Monday morning.
