Office hours for this class . . .

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question concerns the office hours for this class, and we are given four possible statements to evaluate.
Option 1: 'are Wednesdays, 2:00PM-4:30PM, or Fridays, 8:00-9:30AM, via Zoom or can be arranged with Dillon via ad hoc Zoom session when needed, including evenings and weekends.' This option proposes Wednesday afternoon hours and Friday morning hours, plus Zoom accessibility and ad hoc sessions. If the course materials specify T&Th 8:00-9:30AM in Jarvis 202f (as in the provided answer stem), then this Wednesday/Friday scheduling contradicts that stated pattern, making it unlikely to be correct.
Option 2: 'are T&TH, 8:00-9:30AM in Jarvis 202f or via Zoom or can be arranged with Dillon via ad hoc Zoom session when needed, including evenings and weekends.' This aligns with a common university convention of twice-weekly morning office hours on Tuesday and Thursday, in a specific room, with Zoom availability and flexibility for ad hoc sessions. It matches a structured schedule rather than ad hoc or weekend-only options, which supports its plausibility as the standard format.
Option 3: 'in Dillon's office, JHSW 202F, Fridays, Noon-3:00PM.' This option specifies a single Friday afternoon time block in a particular office. The inclusion of a single time slot and different location (JHSW 202F) makes it inconsistent with the typical multiple-slot, cross-room office hour descriptions, and it also does not mention Zoom or flexibility, reducing its likelihood if the standard format is broader.
Option 4: 'are on Saturdays at the Raw Deal in downtown Menomonie, 11:00AM-1:00PM.' This option moves office hours to a nonstandard weekend venue (a cafe) and a Saturday morning slot, which diverges from typical campus office-hour structures and is inconsistent with the other options describing campus rooms and virtual access.
In this analysis, the strongest candidate is the second option because it preserves a regular, campus-based schedule (T&Th 8:00-9:30AM in a named room) and includes virtual access and the possibility of ad hoc Zoom sessions, which is a common flexibility feature in office-hour policies. The other options either propose different days and times, a different location without the same flexibility, or an off-campus weekend venue that is atypical for standard office hours. The overall reasoning hinges on consistency with typical academic office-hour formats: regular days (T&Th), a consistent time block, a specific room, and available virtual options, plus the possibility of arranging extra sessions as needed.
