SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
If you need accommodations because of a disability, if you have emergency medical
information to share with me, or if you need special arrangements in case the building
must be evacuated, please inform me immediately. Please see me privately after class, or
at my office.
To request academic accommodations (for example, a note taker or extended time on
exams), students must also register with the Office of Disability Services
(<http://disabilityservices.missouri.edu),>http://disabilityservices.missouri.edu), S5
Memorial Union, 882-4696. It is the campus office responsible for reviewing
documentation provided by students requesting academic accommodations, and for
accommodations planning in cooperation with students and instructors, as needed and
consistent with course requirements. For other MU resources for students with
disabilities, click on "Disability Resources" on the MU homepage.
ETHICS AND ACADEMIC HONESTY:
Academic honesty is fundamental to the activities and principles of a
university. All members of the academic community must be confident that each
person's work has been responsibly and honorably acquired, developed, and presented.
Any effort to gain an advantage not given to all students is dishonest whether or not the
effort is successful. The academic community regards academic dishonesty as an
extremely serious matter, with serious consequences that range from probation to
expulsion. When in doubt about plagiarism, paraphrasing, quoting, or collaboration,
consult the course instructor.
ACCOUNTABILITY
As an adult you are responsible to maintain a positive behavior that is considerate of
others. That means respect. Respect others by recognizing their personal space and
needs equal to your own. Do not leave your work area a mess when you leave, turn off
your cell phone when you enter class, keep personal conversations to a minimum and at
an acceptable noise level(quiet). Be respectful of me, your instructor. Pay attention to
my instruction and lectures, after all, you or your parents are paying for me to tell you
this stuff. In turn I will respect you and your ideas and opinions. However, if I feel you
are disrupting class I will ask you to leave.
LET’S HAVE FUN
Now that you have read all the rules, please note: I am actually a nice person and hope to
share what I know with you. This type of course should be rewarding and fun. If you are
not having fun, something is wrong. Please come see me about any concerns you have.
Ninety nine percent of all problems can be solved with a discussion and adjustment. I
cannot guarantee you will get an A but I will help you as much as I can to succeed in this
class.
As the instructor, I reserve the right to alter the syllabus and schedule as deemed
necessary. Any alterations will be presented in a fair manner and should not affect your
performance in this course.
