How to Contact Dr. Don Goral - summer 2012

My calendar is at the bottom of this page. It includes my class schedule, open office hours, and when I have other scheduled activities.

MTH 277 and MTH 291 ELI Students:

Before you can request quiz #1, you must attend a live eMeeting with me. I will send out a mass email explaining how to log in to the eMeeting. We will be using Blackboard Collaborate for this.

After the orientation eMeetings, future eMeetings should concentrate on math issues. Included in this can be help in using SN. You must participate actively in one more eMeeting to earn quiz credit.

E-mail address: dgoral@nvcc.edu
Office telephone: (703) 323-3888 ( with voicemail)
Annandale Campus office CM 316
We have telephones on campus that handle voice mail, so I do not use ELI voicemail. I listen to voicemail messages at home, as well as on campus. I generally won't return phone calls from home, but if I have your email address, I can quickly respond that way. From campus, I can respond to voice mail by either a phone call or by email. I prefer email, because it is easier to transmit information clearly that way, and I can always respond.

Note: I generally answer email messages in chronological order. I also scan subject lines for messages that I can answer quickly, such as requests for quizzes. If the subject line is not clear, this could delay my response.

Summer 2012 Course Deadlines

You can reach me via email, and you can make online or campus office appointments. I generally respond to email and run eMEETINGs from home, so my schedule is very flexible.

Google Chat

At random times I will be available on Google Chat. This is text chat. In Google Chat, you can invite me with email address:

nvdgoral@email.vccs.edu

You can access this through your VCCS student email.

Also, I downloaded Google Talk. You must download Google Talk individually to your computer. This will enable us to have an audio and video conversation.

Online Office Hours - eNOVA

If you wish to schedule an online office hour/tutoring session for a single student or a group, please email me with a suggested day and time. My schedule is flexible, so we should be able to set something up.
I do not have scheduled eNOVA sessions. Instead, you may email me a request for an online tutoring session/office hour at any time. When I confirm that I am available at that time, I will set up a session (which only takes a few minutes), enroll you in the session, and send you instructions for logging in. I can also switch from Google Chat to eNOVA. This only takes a few minutes.

Email - I am supposed to send confidential, academic information only to your student VCCS email address. You can access this by going to the NOVA home page, clicking on Mail & Web, and then following the instructions.

You may send E-mail to Dr. Goral at dgoral@nvcc.edu
