This page lays out my expectations of students and what you can expect from me.

• If you are taking my class, come to office hours to discuss course material. If your schedule conflicts with office hours, email me directly to arrange a time.
• Graduate or undergraduate students who want to meet to discuss research (including my advisees) can email me or book a time in my google calendar, searching for rthornt3@nd.edu. 
• Advisees should email me documents they want to discuss at least 24 hours prior to our meeting. Also bring a hard copy of tables or text to our meeting. When we meet, I will usually suggest things to do. At the end of the meeting, we should sum up what next steps you will take. It would b good to make your best effort to do these things before meeting again, or, explain to me why it doesn’t make sense to do those things, or what problems have arisen in the attempt. 
• I expect you to begin each meeting by providing an explicit agenda for the meeting.
