Attendance<\/strong><\/p>\n

I do not take attendance. Of course, attending class meetings will greatly enhance your chances of submitting a persuasive e-portfolio, learning about the material, collaborating with others, and sharing your ideas in an open, face-to-face learning climate.<\/p>\n

Classroom Conduct and Participation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since conversations are essential to the quality of this class, I expect that we shall work together to create an atmosphere of respect. College level discourse does not shy away from sensitive issues, including questions of race, gender, class, sexuality, politics, and religion, and neither will we. There are going to be differences in opinions, beliefs, and interpretations when we question texts and cultural issues.<\/p>\n

Students need not agree with the arguments in the course material or with what their peers or I have to say\u00e2\u20ac\u201din fact, it is important to think critically and question the course material. Still, you must do so intelligently and with respect. Respect for difference is instrumental to creating a classroom in which a variety of ideas can be exchanged and points of view can be explored.<\/p>\n

What is crucial to this course is that you are comfortable expressing yourself and your ideas. If, for whatever reason, you are not, then you should notify me immediately in class or visit me in my office\u00c2\u00a0hours. I understand that some people are more comfortable speaking in class than others. That said, participation in office hours will also augment your participation grade. If you are not comfortable bringing\u00c2\u00a0your concerns directly to me or are not satisfied with my response to your inquiry, then I encourage you to contact IAS.<\/p>\n

Please note: I do not ban laptops or mobile devices in the classroom. However, you should expect me to integrate your use of them into our discussions, workshops, and collaborations.<\/p>\n

Late Policy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although I suggest you follow the schedule, you may submit your work to your e-portfolio at any point in the quarter. If you submit your work after the due date, then: (1) I will not provide any feedback, (2) your chance of not having a peer respond to it is dramatically increased, and (3) it will negatively influence your project development grade. Think Sisyphus here.<\/p>\n

Incompletes<\/strong><\/p>\n

University rules state that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153an incomplete is given only when the student has been in attendance and has done satisfactory work until within two weeks at the end of the quarter and has furnished proof satisfactory to the instructor that the work cannot be completed because of illness or other circumstances beyond the student\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s control.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Please also note that IAS strongly discourages incompletes.<\/p>\n

Academic Integrity<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please see http:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/studentservices\/academicconduct<\/a> for crucial information regarding academic integrity. The library also has an extremely useful website, with resources at http:\/\/libguides. uwb.edu\/ai. You are responsible for knowing what constitutes a violation of the University of Washington Student Code, and you will be held responsible for any such violations whether or not they were intentional.<\/p>\n

Plagiarism, or academic dishonesty, is presenting someone else\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ideas or writing as your own. In this class, you are encouraged to refer to other people\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s thoughts, writing, and audio\u00e2\u20ac\u201das long as they are cited.<\/p>\n

Many students do not have a clear understanding of what constitutes plagiarism. It includes:<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\tA student failing to cite the source of an idea,<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\tA student failing to cite sources of paraphrased material,<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\tA student failing to cite courses of specific language and\/or passages, and<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\tA student submitting someone else\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s work as her or his own.<\/p>\n

If you have doubts about whether to cite or acknowledge another person\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s writing, then you should just let me know. Better safe than sorry. And think about it\u00e2\u20ac\u201dGoogle, websites galore, and the fact that I was an undergraduate, too, make it really, really easy for me to spot plagiarized work.

Disability Support Services<\/strong><\/p>\n

Support for students with disabilities is a campus priority. If you believe that you have a disability and would like academic accommodations, please contact Disability Support Services (DSS) at (425) 352-5307, (425) 352-5303 (TDD), (425) 352.5455 (fax), or dss@uwb.edu. The URL of their website is: http:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/studentservices\/dss.<\/p>\n

I will work with DSS to provide students with disabilities what they require. I will also take suggestions specific to this class to meet student needs. The course syllabus and policies are available in large print, as are other class materials. The course site should adhere to accessibility standards. When it does not, please contact me and let me know. I will revise it accordingly.<\/p>\n

Inclement Weather<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please check if the campus may be closed due to weather. Information on suspension of operations will be made public and available through the media. You can learn of campus operations status from the\u00c2\u00a0website or by calling the Campus Information Hotline: (425) 352-3333.
