Academic Integrity:

Students are bound by the University policy on academic integrity in all aspects of this course.

Special accommodations for students with disabilities:


Students who have a disability-related need for reasonable accommodations should contact Disability Resources at 935-5970 or go to  http://disability.wustl.edu

Students seeking disability-related accommodations and guidance from the University must use this official resource and are encouraged to contact the DRC on enrollment or once diagnosed.  In contrast to high school students, college and graduate students are expected to self-identify themselves and to make specific requests for accommodations by notifying the Disability Resource Center. Eligibility for accommodations is determined on an individual basis, must be supported by professional documentation, and must be renewed each semester. The DRC will guide you through each step of this process, whether you are a prospective or current student, undergraduate or graduate. http://disability.wustl.edu/

In order to make arrangements for exam accommodations, the professor must receive a hardcopy of the student's "VISA" document at least 7 days prior to any exam 
or quizzes.  Failure to provide the professor with adequate notice may result in the student being unable to use his/her accommodations.

Class notes:

You are expected to remain in the classroom for the duration of the class, exiting only in emergencies.

Cell phones, pagers, and other electronic devices must be turned off during class times, except
in special circumstances approved by the professor. 
Computers: The use of computers during class is restricted to instructional activities, as specified 
by the professor.

Course evaluations will be available at the end of the semester at: evals.wustl.edu
