We must treat every individual with respect. We are diverse in many ways, and this diversity is fundamental to building and maintaining an equitable and inclusive campus community. Diversity can refer to multiple ways that we identify ourselves, including but not limited to race, color, national origin, language, sex, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, creed, ancestry, belief, veteran status, or genetic information. Each of these diverse identities, along with many others not mentioned here, shape the perspectives our students, faculty, and staff bring to our campus.

If you a) use someone else’s phrases, paragraphs, or EVEN THEIR IDEAS WRITTEN IN YOUR OWN WORDS and b) fail to provide a reference, then you have plagiarized that person’s work. There are two ways to ensure that you don’t plagiarize: 1) present your own ideas, and 2) when you present someone else’s ideas or phrases, give them credit by providing a reference. Plagiarism is a serious problem across college campuses today and I will actively check your work to ensure that you have not taken credit for someone else’s ideas and writing. If I discover that you’ve plagiarized, you will fail the assignment and I will report the incident to the Dean of H&SS, to your advisor, and to the Academic Affairs Office where it will go in your file, as specified by the procedures in the student handbook.

Attendance is important to you understanding course materials and connecting with your classmates.
I will take attendance on a daily basis and you will be allowed to miss 3 classes without penalty. However, for each class that you miss after the 3rd class, 5% will be deducted from your final grade in the course. In other words, if you have a 94% in the class based on your exam scores, homework and writing assignments, but you missed 4 classes over the semester, 5% will be deducted and you will receive an 89% in the class which is a B.
