Dad and son checking a bluebird box. (Click on box)The information below is provided so that you can contact me in other, sometimes more archaic but often more reliable, ways. In a few cases, you may get lucky and actually talk to a real person. TELEPHONE (with voice mail):
310.434.4702 DURING THE SUMMER, I am not teaching, so I sneak onto campus about once a week to take care of mail, etc. If you want to see me, make an appointment. Best done by email. "SENSEI" - Japanese for teacher. Students often call me sensei. This avoids the confusion of what title I should have. Students ask if they should call me Dr (no, I have no PhD or MD), Mr (yes, I am male), Professor (academically yes), Walt (a bit informal), Sakai (more informal), or hey you! Then, most foreign born students are very respectful and call all of their instructors using the former, while American born students are more informal (not necessarily disrespectful). Red-tailed Hawk took a Cooper's Hawk on our campus. Frames grabbed from a video taken by Jim Serikawa, staff member in Media Center/Graphics Center.
