Religious holiday statement

It is the policy of the University of Michigan to make every reasonable effort to allow members of the University community to observe their religious holidays without academic penalty. Absence from classes or examinations for religious reasons does not relieve you from responsibility for any part of the course work assigned while absent. If you expect to miss a class, exam, or other assignment as a consequence of religious observance, you shall be provided with a reasonable alternative opportunity to complete such academic responsibilities without penalty, unless it interferes unreasonably with the rest of the class. It is your obligation to provide me with reasonable notice of the dates of religious holidays on which you will be absent. Such notice must be given by the end of the fourth week of a full term or by the end of the third week of a half term.

Accommodations for Students with Disabilities

If you need accommodations for a disability, please let me know as soon as you can. Some aspects of this course, the assignments, the in-class activities, or the way I teach may be modified to facilitate your participation and progress. To help determine the most appropriate accommodations for you, we can avail ourselves of University resources such as the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities(763-3000/615-6921-TTY). Be assured that I will treat any information about your disability as private and confidential.

Diversity Statement

“The University of Michigan is committed to a policy of non-discrimination and equal opportunity for all persons regardless of race, sex, color, religion, creed, national origin or ancestry, age, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, or Vietnam-era veteran status in employment, educational programs and activities, and admissions.” -from the University of Michigan’s Education Value of Diversity publication.

“In order to create a climate for open and honest dialogue and to encourage the broadest range of viewpoints, class participants need to treat each other with respect. Name-calling, accusations, verbal attacks, sarcasm, and other negative exchanges are counterproductive to successful teaching and learning. The purpose of class discussions is to generate greater understanding. In expressing viewpoints, class participants need to raise questions and comments in ways that will promote learning, rather than defensiveness and conflict. It is OK to disagree with each other: the purpose of dialogue is not to reach a consensus or to convince others of a specific viewpoint, but to reach higher levels of learning and understanding by examining different viewpoints and opinions.” –Taken from ASU’s Intergroup Relations Center, Classroom Resources—Discussion Ground Rules.
