COURSE POLICIES

POLICIES FOR COURSE CONDUCT

Attendance: All students are required to attend class, and attendance will be taken at each class.

Late Policy: Every student will have a total of 5 late days that can be used once toward a single assignment (e.g., submitting an assignment 5 days late) or in parts toward multiple assignments (e.g., submitting 5 assignments 1 day late). In general, it is strongly recommended that you submit your assignment 30 minutes before the deadline to avoid last minute technical difficulties (e.g., network delays). If the deadline is at 11:59 pm, and you submitted at 12:01 am, you will have used one of your late days.

Emergencies and Exceptions: Inform the instructor immediately on Microsoft Teams of any crisis that preclude you from attending a class or an exam.

Special Needs: Students with special needs should inform the instructor immediately via email so that accommodations can be made.

Religious observances: Let the instructor know well in advance if an assignment, deadline, or major project milestone interferes with an important religious or cultural observance/event.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

By enrolling in this course, each student assumes the responsibilities of an active participant in UW-Madison’s community of scholars in which everyone’s academic work and behavior are held to the highest academic integrity standards. Academic misconduct compromises the integrity of the university. Cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, unauthorized collaboration, and helping others commit these acts are examples of academic misconduct, which can result in disciplinary action. This includes but is not limited to failure on the assignment/course, disciplinary probation, or suspension. Substantial or repeated cases of misconduct will be forwarded to the Office of Student Conduct & Community Standards for additional review. For more information, refer to https://conduct.students.wisc.edu/academic-integrity/.

ACCOMMODATIONS FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

The University of Wisconsin-Madison supports the right of all enrolled students to a full and equal educational opportunity. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Wisconsin State Statute (36.12), and UW-Madison policy (Faculty Document 1071) require that students with disabilities be reasonably accommodated in instruction and campus life. Reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities is a shared faculty and student responsibility. Students are expected to inform the instructor of their need for instructional accommodations by the end of the third week of the semester, or as soon as possible after a disability has been incurred or recognized. The instructor will work either directly with the student or in coordination with the McBurney Center to identify and provide reasonable instructional accommodations. Disability information, including instructional accommodations as part of a student’s educational record, is confidential and protected under FERPA. In addition to completing an electronic Faculty Notification Letter request through McBurney Connect, it is important for students to contact the course instructor directly by the end of the third week of the semester to set up a meeting to discuss implementation of any necessary accommodations. This early communication helps ensure that accommodations can be implemented in a timely manner. For example, if an alternative exam room is needed, arrangements must be made well in advance of an exam date to ensure room availability and to secure a room booking.
