[nabs-l] Office Hours

[Jamie P.]

It's worth noting, for clarity, that "office hours" typically means the times when professors are in their offices and expect students to drop in unannounced with any questions or concerns. These are not the only times a professor is in office. These are just the times they're available for drop in meetings with students. There is no reason the blind student should be denied the privilege of dropping in as needed during scheduled office hours. All students do. But all students also have the option to make an appointment with a professor for a meeting time outside of these regular office hours, too. 

But if you are going to scheduled office hours, it isn't typically expected that you'll make an appointment first. Unless there's some unusually special circumstance.

If I want to go over a specific topic and I suspect I'll need a substantial amount of one on one time to do it, I'll make an appointment. If I have a quick question about, say, an exam accommodation or a question on the homework or a recent test or grade, I won't. And if I realize I need to talk to my professor about something on short notice but don't have an appointment, I'll go to office hours without one, because this is always better than not speaking up at all, no matter what the nature of the question is.
