Do professors get reading week off as well?
Just wondering if professors still come on campus during reading week?
I would really like to make an appointment next week (during Reading Week) to discuss about something in person that is due right after reading week (grad school-related) but I wasn't sure if they get Reading Week off as well.
Thank you in advance!

So I guess it depends on the professor then.
I'll send an e-mail and ask personally.
Thanks everyone!

Hey raine, just email your professor and ask him/her if they will be available during reading week.

Mac is a research focused school. Most likely the instructors went off. I'[m guessing most of the profs are still here doing research.

Well, the prof can choose to take some of their vacation during reading week, and I'm sure some do, but it is not scheduled time off and they are still supposed to work, just like any other day. Same with grad students. The only day off is family day.

Grad TA here:

Reading week doesn't affect us, so we forget it exists most of the time.
