Policies:
- You are expected to attend all lectures. If you miss
a lecture, you are responsible for finding out the material
covered in that lecture.
- Campus policy regarding religious observances requires that faculty make
every effort to deal reasonably and fairly with all students who, because of
religious obligations, have conflicts with scheduled exams, assignments or
required attendance. Please notify me of any anticipated conflicts due to
religious obligations as early in the semester as possible so that there is
adequate time to make necessary arrangements. See full details at
http://www.colorado.edu/policies/fac_relig.html
- If you qualify for accommodations because of a disability, please submit to
me a letter from Disability Services in a timely manner so that your needs
be addressed. Disability Services determines accommodations based on
documented disabilities. Contact: 303-492-8671, Willard 322, and
http://www.Colorado.EDU/disabilityservices
If you have a temporary medical condition or injury, see guidelines at
http://www.colorado.edu/disabilityservices/go.cgi?select=temporary.html
Disability Services' letters for students with disabilities indicate legally
mandated reasonable accommodations. The syllabus statements and answers to
Frequently Asked Questions can be found at

- Students and faculty each have responsibility for maintaining an appropriate
learning environment. Those who fail to adhere to such behavioral standards
may be subject to discipline. Professional courtesy and sensitivity are
especially important with respect to individuals and topics dealing with
differences of race, culture, religion, politics, sexual orientation,
gender, gender variance, and nationalities. Class rosters are provided to
the instructor with the student's legal name. I will gladly honor your
request to address you by an alternate name or gender pronoun. Please advise
me of this preference early in the semester so that I may make appropriate
changes to my records. See policies at
http://www.colorado.edu/policies/classbehavior.html and at
http://www.colorado.edu/studentaffairs/judicialaffairs/code.html#student_code

Harassment, the University of Colorado policy on Sexual Harassment and the

harassment based upon race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability,
creed, religion, sexual orientation, or veteran status should contact the
