Email

Check your UW email regularly. I will send general information about the course, including any changes to the syllabus or updates to the schedule, as Canvas Announcements, which will appear on Canvas and in your UW email. Any messages addressed to you individually will go to your UW email address. You are expected to be aware of and respond to communications sent out via Canvas and email.

The best way to reach me outside of class is via email: jcsong@uw.edu. You can email directly or via Canvas. Use your UW email address to ensure that I see your message. I will try to reply to all emails within 24 hours of reading them. I check email periodically during business hours, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday; occasionally in the evening; and irregularly on weekends. Please plan accordingly.

Office Hours

My office hours are Monday and Wednesday 1:00-2:00 pm in Gowen M245. You can make an appointment via email for a time within these hours, or just stop by. Scheduled appointments take priority over drop-ins. If you are unable to make these hours, I can arrange appointments at other times; email me to make arrangements. Feel free to come to office hours with questions about course material, the course itself, Chinese literature, a major or minor in Chinese or Asian Languages & Cultures, or anything else. For in-person office hours, please wear a mask; if you do not wish to do so, I prefer that we arrange to meet via Zoom.
