The best way to get hold of me is via email. Please donít call after 11 pm or before 7 am except in dire emergency.

Attendance in my discussion sections is limited to those who are actually registered. Attendance for discussions is mandatory. Participation is expected, however, thoughtful participation is more important than simply being vocal.

Because faith cannot be graded, essays must present logical arguments with thesis sentences in a standard format. Please check with me if you have any questions concerning the difference. Please click here for "crisis week" policies. Click here to see more information on Vika's Paper Grading Paradigm.
