CLASSROOM LOCATION INFORMATION UPDATE (7/10/18)

Students;

After doing some research regarding our classroom, I have been told that it should be ready.  It is located in the former small parking lot between PAC and the FTC and titled “T108.”  I will be there early and if you have any questions my office is in MUS 117A.  I’ll be in my office before class starts.  There’s another class in that room before us so my goal is to get there probably at 10:00.

Looking forward to working with you this semester and as others have said to me “we must be flexible.”

Prof. Sparks

CLASSROOM LOCATION INFORMATION? (7/9/18)

Students;

Today, I received an email from a student and I inquired about this point today also: our Classroom location confirmation.

These are new portable classrooms and there is still some speculation about the status of these buildings.

As soon as I get confirmation, I will send you an email and post it on my blog.

Thanks

Prof. Sparks
