PLEASE NOTE: When contacting me by e-mail or phone, PLEASE let me know what class you are contacting me about. During Summer 2007, for instance, I teach THREE sections each of THREE different theatre courses online and you MUST let me know what class you are referring to (SPD 130, SPD 141, or SPD 231) and what SEMESTER (Summer 2007, Spring 2007, etc.).
**NEW: I get so much student e-mail that I generally do not reply unless specifically asked to, so ASK SPECIFICALLY for a reply if you need one. And sometimes I miss that, too. So if you asked for a reply and haven't gotten one in a couple days, please try again (or leave me a voicemail message - 703-878-5750)... Thanks.
