Contacting Instructor
Due to the brevity of the term, it may become essential for the student
to contact the instructor at times other than the few scheduled Saturday
sessions. Those who have access to the internet through AOL can reach
me anytime I am on line by instant messaging me at RGZiegler@aol.com.
If you do not have AOL connection, email to that address is perhaps the
next fastest way to contact me. I can also be reached by phone by calling
my home office number 1.810.775.3364 and leaving a message. If there is
anything I can do about your message, I will call you back as soon as it
is possible to do so. The student may also leave a voice mail message
in my campus phone mailbox which I will checking twice a week during
the term. Since I am only on campus for most of the term on Friday
evenings and Saturdays, please take advantage of these ways to
contact me for assistance as needed.
