If I am your advisor and mentor, bring to your appointment two copies of your DARS, one marked up with questions, omissions, and incomplete areas. Also bring a schedule, with the courses you are considering pencilled in, and a list of English department courses you have taken (and instructors).

If you are a student in one of my classes, please come with a list of specific questions for me. If you want to talk to me about your paper, make an appointment first so that we can have enough time. If you let me know in advance, I'll add you to my SARA calendar so that you can schedule our meeting at a mutually convenient time.

If you are a student in another dept., please check with Ms. Norris before coming to see me so that we can make sure you are going to the right place for your query.
