It is my goal to create a learning experience that is as accessible as possible. If you anticipate any issues related to the format, materials, or requirements of this course, please meet with me outside of class so we can explore potential options. Students with disabilities may also wish to work with the Office of Disability Services to discuss a range of options to removing barriers in this course, including official accommodations. Please visit their website for contact and additional information. If you have already been approved for accommodations through the Office of Disability Services, please meet with me so we can develop an implementation plan together.
