Instructor Information

Quick links, including email links, office hours, and lab hours, are all available from the Instructors tab above in the course menubar.

What follows is a more detailed introduction to the people delivering this class to you this semester. We are a team and will be working together to provide this experience to you.

I am the professor delivering this course. I am also the instructor of record for this course. If you have any significant problems, administrative or technical, please come to me about them.

I am excited to work with you and guide you through the journey of beginning to code!

Please feel free to leverage my office hours, email, Zoom meetings to find me. I would love it if every one of you who is in Missoula could come by sometime to introduce yourself. For those of you who are distance learners, please consider sending me an email about yourself, along with something to help me get to know you better, like your own website, or links to your creative work. You are also welcome to set up a Zoom meeting with me, and we can get to know one another better that way as well.

I would also like to say that I am a teacher first and foremost, so I will work to respond to your questions and problems as quickly as possible. Email is one of the best ways to get a hold of me. I check my email throughout the day, so you should hear back from me within a short timeline. My office hours are another way to get help from me. They are posted and updated in the Instructors tab of this website.
