Things to Know:
 Accommodations: Students
with special
needs, please, advise me at the beginning
of the course as to any accommodations we
can effect to make you comfortable in class.
 Since
communication is a skill combining
thinking, listening, and speaking, it is of the
utmost importance that handwritten notes
on lectures and speeches are carefully
taken throughout the semester. Do not
interrupt this process by conversing or
disrupting the class.
