Dear student:

My name is Hong P Nguyen. I am a full-time faculty at Alexandria campus. I have been teaching Bio 101 and NAS 162. And this fall 2004, I am glad to be your ELI Bio 101 instructor. To know me personally, you can access to my web-site by following these steps: Nova web site, Alexandria campus, faculty and staff, click on alphabetic listing, and click on letter N to find my name.

I know it is inconvenient for you to have a change during the semester. However, staff of The Extended Learning Institute, Professor Erdahl and I will do the best to facilitate this transition and to make sure that it does not affect to your learning. The schedule of classes and of the lab stays the same. And I promise you that there will not be any more changes unless it is very necessary.

My office is in Alexandria campus/Bisdorf building, Room # 352. My office hours is Monday (8:30am -1:30am) and Tuesday (3:30pm -7:30pm). Other office hours can be arranged by appointment. You can call me at 703-845-6506 or contact me by email. The college requires that our email should be conducted by using college email accounts. However, we can communicate through other accounts that you may have if there are problems in NVCC account.
