Consultation Time

Best time to find me are Wednesday-Friday, but not Thursday 15:00-17:00. At the moment I don't mind if you interrupt me at any time. As the semester progresses we may set specific office hours if that is useful. Otherwise email me for an appointment if necessary. Or try phoning (6125 4386) me before coming to my office.
