policies

No pets in class, please. Food is fine. Laptops are fine during research and writing workshops, but I ask that you not use computers, cell phones, or PDAs in class. See me if you have any concerns about either the pets or the technology.

honor code. All students of the University of Colorado at Boulder are responsible for knowing and adhering to the academic integrity policy of this institution. Violations of this policy may include: cheating, plagiarism, aid of academic dishonesty, fabrication, lying, bribery, and threatening behavior. All incidents of academic misconduct shall be reported to the Honor Code Council and those students who are found to be in violation of the academic integrity policy will be subject to both academic sanctions from the faculty member involved and non-academic sanctions given by the Honor Code Council (including but not limited to university probation, suspension, or expulsion). Please refer to http://www.colorado.edu/honorcode to view the specific guidelines. If you have any questions related to this policy, please contact the Honor Code Council at honor@colorado.edu.

classroom behavior. Students and faculty each have responsibility for maintaining an appropriate learning environment. Those who fail to adhere to such behavioral standards may be subject to discipline. Professional courtesy and sensitivity are especially important with respect to individuals and topics dealing with differences of race, culture, religion, politics, sexual orientation, gender variance, and nationalities. See polices at http://www.colorado.edu/policies/classbehavior.html and at http://www.colorado.edu/studentaffairs/judicialaffairs/code.html#student_code.

discrimination and harassment. Any student, staff or faculty member who believes s/he has been the subject of discrimination or harassment based upon race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or veteran status should contact the Office of Discrimination and Harassment (ODH) at 303-492-2127 or the Office of Judicial Affairs at 303-492-5550. Full details about the campus policy can be found at http://www.colorado.edu/policies/discrimination.html. Campus resources available to assist individuals regarding discrimination or harassment can be obtained at http://www.colorado.edu/odh.

religious observances. I’m happy to make accomodations for religious obligations that conflict with scheduled exams, assignments or required attendance. In order to make any appropriate accomodations, I ask that you inform me two weeks in advance of your absence. See full details of the campus policy at http://www.colorado.edu/policies/fac_relig.html.

disability accomodations. If you qualify for accommodations because of a disability please submit a letter to me from Disability Services in a timely manner so that your needs may be addressed.
