Hi, Dan.  Thanks for your reply.  I hold office hours on Tuesdays from 10 am 
to noon in room 190A Science (close to the elevators and to the Science 
Resource Center).  For me, that would be a good time to meet with you.  I 
teach part time, and the Oceanography telecourse is the only course I am 
teaching this term, so I am not normally on campus at other times.  I can 
make a special trip to campus, if that won't work for you, or we could meet 
the following Tuesday.
Greg Miles.
