Virtual Office Hours
Fall 2008


   

Traditional Office Hours: MWF 8-9 AM, Withers 302

 

I am in the office on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning from 8-9 AM. You are encouraged to come by and visit with me in person, practice your Spanish, ask questions, etc.

   

Individual Virtual Hours: Tuesdays, 1-2 PM

 

During virtual office hours, students use their computer and a program called Skype to call me on my computer. We principally use voice because it is much more efficient than text chatting. I have a web cam so that you will be able to see me; a web cam on your end is optional.

Download the Skype software here: http://www.skype.com/. Install the software and adjust your audio settings. Next, search for and add me as a contact. I will then approve you as a contact. My Skype name is: jsdespain

   

Class Chat Hours: Thursdays, 1-2 PM

 

Using Wimba Direct, you can join in a class chat. Listen to other students questions and ask your own. Visit Wimba's Dr. Despain Direct page and login as a guest using your first name and the first initial of your last name (e.g. Scott D).
