Professor Costa has spent a career arguing that people stay in bad situations for reasons that have nothing to do with whether the situation is good, and has personally verified this by teaching the same six weeks of search-and-screening theory every year since the department’s founding. Office hours are Tuesdays; asking for an extension on the grounds that “I’ve already put so much work into this argument” will be marked, not excused.
Consultation is by appointment. Questions about a specific week’s material are better asked in that week’s tutorial, where the answer is worth more to everyone else in the room too.
