Academic Misconduct
Students have to avoid academic misconduct including (but are not limited to)
plagiarism, collusion (unauthorized collaboration), copying the work of other student,
and possession of unauthorized materials during examination. If I suspect that a student
has committed academic misconduct in this course, you will be asked for confirmation
and to tell the truth. If a student further is determined to be committed academic
misconduct, the sanctions for the misconduct could include a failing grade in this course.

Disability Service
Any student who feels he/ she may need an accommodation based on the impact of a
disability should contact me privately to discuss specific needs.
Grievances and Solving Problems
If you have a problem with this class, you should seek to resolve a grievance concerning
a grade or academic practice by speaking first with the instructor. Then, if necessary,
with the department chairperson, college dean, provost, in that order.
