Personal note to students: Please do not feel intimidated about interacting with me. Regardless of how busy or stressed I may appear to you, teaching your class is a part of my job, and I take that very seriously. I care deeply about the quality of your learning. Please always reach out to me if you have questions, concerns, or need help. I understand that it can be difficult and can even feel embarrassing to ask for help. However, I was once in your position, and I promise to always treat you with respect, empathy, and kindness. Nobody that ever did anything meaningful did so without first failing over and over again.
