Deadlines: All deadlines are tentative in the beginning. The firm deadlines will be announced in class and posted on Ed.

Discussion policy: All discussions will take place on Ed. Please be respectful of your fellow classmates and your instructor when posting questions. If you post questions or comments on Ed that I deem derogatory or otherwise not constructive, I will remove them. 

You are expected to read your Ed posts frequently. I will be posting important announcements on it. 

Grading policy: I will not be able to give any individual student extra credit for additional work or projects. However, if your research projects that are especially good, I may award additional points. This is at my discretion. 

Academic Dishonesty: I take academic dishonesty extremely seriously. Your assignments will be tested for plagiarism not only against your classmates but also with all past assignments. If I find evidence of dishonesty, I will immediately notify the Graduate Program Director and give you an F in the class.

Recordings: The class will not be recorded.

Laptop and devices: I have a no-laptop and no-device policy in class. Please put away your laptop and devices. I will accommodate students who have accessibility requirements or other needs. If so send me an email.

Statement regarding dealing with attendance and class schedule: Students are expected to report for examinations and submit major graded coursework as scheduled. If a student is unable to report for any exams or complete major graded coursework as scheduled due to extenuating circumstances, the student must contact the instructor as soon as possible.  Students will be requested to provide documentation to support their absence and/or may be referred to the Student Support Team for assistance. Students will be provided reasonable accommodations for missed exams, assignments or projects due to significant illness, tragedy or other personal emergencies. In the instance of missed lectures the student is responsible to go over the slides from the previous lecture. The lecture will be recorded and posted but can be of varying quality.
