However, there are quite a few other places he might be around campus. His schedule is at http://aggregate.org/hankd/cal.html, which also shows live sensor info about his availability. Alternatively, you also can email hankd@engr.uky.edu to make an appointment.

The course TA, Zhi Chen, will have regular office hours in 108 Davis Marksbury Building on TBA, or at times scheduled by appointment. His email address is zhichen1986@gmail.com to make an appointment or ask grading questions. He will have responsibility for maintaining the grade information for this course, so you check your grades by contacting the TA.
