AST 322 - CONTACT INFORMATION - Spring 2025

WHOM TO CONTACT FOR WHAT:

For serious class conflicts, or general advice re. AST 322:

Contact your Instructor: Dr. Rogier A. Windhorst.
Office Hours: Mo 1:00-2:00 pm in person in my office GWC-508 (or if requested, by Zoom): https://asu.zoom.us/j/88687808317 .  
[PWD: 1234. You must login via: asu.zoom.us and my.asu.edu to enter any ASU Zoom room, or the Google drive with lectures. If you get stuck in the Zoom waiting room, you need to go to the Zoom app and sign into Zoom with your ASU email address. Then, sign back into Zoom].

Phone: During office hours you may call my cell: 480-540-0816 (if I don't pickup rightaway, you must leave a msg, or your phone number WILL get automatically flagged as spam, and then you cannot call me again). Sometimes I have bad internet connection, so if I am not on Zoom during my office hours (if you requested this due to illness), feel free to call my cell phone.
Office: If/when normal operations resume on the ASU campus, my office is GWC-508; Phone: 480-965-7143 (office hours) or 480-965-5081 (outside office hours).
Email: Rogier.Windhorst@asu.edu
Mailboxes (for Prof. Windhorst and all TA's): Room ISTB4-795.
Offices hours for all TAs: In Spring 2025 by Zoom, see Table below.

Because Prof. Windhorst is swamped with Emails re. AST 322, he apologizes that he cannot read or answer them all. However, he WILL report your questions to the TAs every week and update the webpages accordingly, and/or have your questions discussed in class, if necessary, so please keep an eye out for modified webpages (see the ``Pages last updated'' to the left), and be in contact with the TAs to get all your questions answered.

Instead of Emailing us, answers to almost all your questions can be found as following: (1) via this class website --- make sure to read the whole website and click on all buttons on the left to get all your answers; (2) your questions will be answered in class, so make sure to attend all lectures; (3) ask your questions in class, so all students will benefit from the answer --- often in class-questions (and/or great answers) will lead to extra credit!; and (4) please do not ask about your grades by phone or Email, since it is illegal for us to give out any grades over the phone or by Email (all grades will be posted via Canvas). Hence, almost all your questions will get answered on this webpage, via Canvas, and/or verbally in class. The TAs and I will respond in person to Emails related to you having to miss class, H/W-sets and/or exams due to, e.g., serious illness or death in the family, that students can document in writing.
