As no other instructors follow our labs, I plan to hold office hours in the lab rooms (both for Bio100 and 182) as (a) we are already in those rooms and (b) this gives students access to the lab material. So, Mon and Wed, I will be in LS-202 from 1:20-2:20 and Tues/Thurs, I will be in LS-206 from 1:20-2:20. Also, I am always available online and most weekdays by appointment.
