University of Colorado Policies
There are various policies that are particularly relevant to classroom
teaching. A brief description of the most critical ones are briefly
described here.
Disability Services
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 may
be addressed. Disability Services determines accommodations based on
documented disabilities. (303-492-8671, Willard 322,
See the
www.Colorado.EDU/disabilityservices).
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
www.Colorado.EDU/disabilityservices.
Religious Observances
Campus policy regarding religious observances requires that faculty make every
effort to reasonably and fairly deal with all students who, because of
religious obligations, have conflicts with scheduled exams, assignments or
required attendance. In this class,
if we cannot come to a mutually satisfactory agreement for a particular
situation, you may appeal the matter to the Computer Science Department
Chair and then, if necessary, to the College Dean's office.

.
Sexual Harassment
The University of Colorado at Boulder policy on Discrimination and
Harassment, the University of Colorado policy on Sexual Harassment and the
University of Colorado policy on Amorous Relationships apply to all
students, staff and faculty. Any student, staff or faculty member who
believes s/he has been the subject of discrimination or harassment based
upon race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, religion, sexual
orientation, or veteran status should contact the Office of Discrimination
and Harassment (ODH) at 303-492-2127 or the Office of Judicial Affairs at
303-492-5550. Information about the ODH, the above referenced policies and
the campus resources available to assist individuals regarding
discrimination or
harassment can be obtained at
http://www.colorado.edu/odh.
Classroom Behavior
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.
