Where can I find help?
>>> Office Hours and Appointments
My office is located in ART 347 , and my winter office hours are Thursday: 12-2 p.m. If my office hours are not amenable to your schedule, then please don’t hesitate to ask for an appointment. I'm around.
I may ask you to meet with me when I think a conference would be useful. I am happy to meet with you whenever you have questions, concerns, or suggestions.
>>> Virtual Office Hours
I will also be holding virtual office hours - at english3000 at gmail.com – on Wednesday, 5-7 p.m. At that time, if you wish, you can communicate with me via Google talk . I will also log into english3000@gmail.com at other times outside of my virtual office hours. If you see that I am logged on, feel free to send me a message. The sole purpose of english3000@gmail.com is for English 121. I log on with the intent to speak with students. However, please do not send e-mail to english3000@gmail.com. The function of the address is for Google talk only. I will not necessarily – in fact, I generally will not – be in my office during virtual office hours.
>>> E-mail and the Like
You can also e-mail me at jentery at u.washington.edu . I will respond to e-mail within twenty-four hours.
The course listserv is: engl121b_wi08 at u.washington.edu . When you send an e-mail to it, all English 121b students and me will receive your message. Remember: if I send a message via the listserv (which I will do about twice per week), reply to me (jentery at u.washington.edu ) and not the listserv, unless you want everyone on the list to read your e-mail.
>>> The Writing Center
You can find additional writing help at the English Department Writing Center located in B-12 Padelford Hall. E-mail: wcenter at u.washington.edu with questions or to make an appointment. If you make an appointment to see a writing center tutor, then you will receive extra participation credit.
>>> The DSO
Please let me know if you need accommodation of any sort. I can work with the UW Disability Service Office (DSO) to provide what you require. I am very willing to take suggestions specific to this class to meet your needs. The course syllabus and policies are available in large print, as are other class materials.
>>> The Expository Writing Program
If you have any concerns about the course or about me, please see me as soon as possible. If you are not comfortable talking with me or not satisfied with the response that you receive, you may contact the following Expository Writing staff in Padelford, Room A-11:
- Elizabeth Simmons-O'Neill, Director of 121: 685-3804 or esoneill at u.washington.edu
- Anis Bawarshi, Director: 543-2190 or bawarshi at u.washington.edu
