Updated Comments about the Spring 2017 Instructional Term at Schreiner University

In order to ensure that I can remain available to help the students at Schreiner University in Kerrville, Texas, I have accepted an adjustment to my teaching schedule for the upcoming term. Instead of the schedule I initially report having for the term, I will be teaching two sections of ENGL 1302: Literature & Composition–Sections 02 and 03, MWF 1000 and 1100, respectively. While I would have liked to have been able to teach the History of the English Language class, outside factors have made that option currently unavailable; those students who signed up for the class specifically to take it with me should be assured that qualified faculty will handle the course.

I apologize for the adjustments that my shift in schedule will require and hope that I will continue to be able to be a benefit to the Mountaineer students.
