Welcome back, SDA!
I wanted to take the time to wish everybody the best of luck in the last few weeks of the semester and to let everyone know about a minor change to the online scheduling system.
First, I’d just like to remind students that although the semester is nearly over, this is still an optimal time for you all to bring up your grades, especially if you’re finishing up any English classes or writing-intensive classes. I know many English teachers who are offering extra credit on assignments for students who visit the Writing Lab, so if your teacher has informed you of this, then don’t hesitate to make an appointment with me in the lab. Even if your teachers don’t offer extra credit, I’d still encourage you to make an appointment. An appointment with me can sometimes mean the difference in a letter grade for your assignments. I have plenty of slots open throughout the week, so I hope you all will utilize my services to your advantage!
Now for the minor change I mentioned earlier: If you go onto our Google Calendar to make an appointment, you might notice the appointment labels look slightly different:
As you can see above, the appointment slots will now reflect the period you are making an appointment for. When you hover over each slot, a small window will appear showing you what time this appointment is for (i.e. 10:00am – 10:30am). Appointments are still 30 min slots, but you can book two slots if necessary.
My purpose in changing this was to make it a little easier for students to see when their appointments would be in regards to their schedule from class period to class period. If it works out, I may keep it this way.
That’s all from me. I hope to see some people in the lab this week. I am here and am always happy to help!
