Office Hours

Since we are required to have office hours my office hour is:

Mon- Wed 4:30 PM--5:30 PM

Here's a sincere advice:

You can always email me and fix up an appointment beyond the office hours. Why to spend hours working on a problem or understanding a concept when I can help you in few minutes.
