¨ Attendance. Attendance in this class is extremely important. Lack of attendance means you are not serious about this course and will result in a lowered grade. ¨ Students with disabilities. Any student who has a disability and is in need of classroom accommodations, please contact the instructor and the Services for Students with Disabilities Office in Old Library 2136 at the beginning of the semester. ¨ Baccalaureate degree goals. This course has a very strong emphasis on many of the goals. ¨ Academic integrity. I consider any academic misconduct in this course as a serious offense, and I will pursue the strongest possible academic penalties for such behavior. The disciplinary procedures and penalties for academic misconduct are described in the UW-Eau Claire Student Services and Standards Handbook in Chapter UWS 14—Student Academic Disciplinary Procedures. |
