Policy on Devices and Class Participation
Students who have electronic devices visible or generating audio or video will not earn
participation points and will fail this class. Students should turn electronic devices off and put
them away. Students earn points for class participation, and the instructor assumes students are
not participating if they have cell phones, ipods, and other media delivery devices on display.
Students need to bring the required books with them in class to earn participation points. Other
behaviors like conversations not addressed to the class do not earn participation points. Entering
class after it starts does not earn participation points, and exiting class before it ends does not
earn participation points. Any behavior that interferes with other students’ learning does not earn
participation points.
Statement on Non-Discrimination
Alternative viewpoints are welcome in this classroom. There will be no discrimination on the
basis of race, color, age, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, sex, marital status,
disability, or status as a veteran
.
Accommodation Statement
Please communicate any special needs or special accommodations to the instructor at the
beginning of the semester or as soon as you become aware of your needs.
