I encourage you to contact me about any aspect of the course, or anything else. Outside of my office hours, I can sometimes be hard to track down, but I am always available by appointment. In general email is the best way to reach me, but I occasionally do not check email in the evening. If you send me email at night I will respond the following morning. If you really need to get a hold of me at night, you can call me at home (before 9pm). For urgent matters during the day (e.g., you can't make it to class at the last minute for some reason), please call me in my office.
