Equipment The use of all ULAB equipment, outside classroom exercises, will require a signed request and policy form. You are responsible for replacement and repair costs of all damaged or lost equipment.
Emails Communication will occur through email. Be sure to check your email daily. You are responsible for emails sent by the faculty.
Late Assignments Plan ahead for this intensive class, there will be no late assignments accepted (unless I have given you permission beforehand).
Plagiarism Plagiarism is the intended or unintended use of someone else's language and/or ideas without revealing the source of that material, leading the audience to believe that the work is original. So attribute all your sources. Minimum penalty for plagiarism is a zero on the assignment (and possible course failure); I will also follow University rules and report any instances of plagiarism to the administration.
Accommodations If you need course adaptation or accommodation because of a disability (physical, learning, psychiatric, vision, hearing, etc.), please make an appointment with me as soon as possible.
