As you know, all UNCW classes were canceled on 9/10/18 starting at noon and resumed on 10/8/18. This resulted in a loss of 600 instructional minutes for this course. UNC System Policy 400.1.6 requires 750 instructional minutes (or the equivalent) for each credit-hour of a course. Thus, our 3-credit hour course requires 2250 minutes of instructional time. To make up for such a large and unprecedented amount of lost time, UNCW Academic Affairs developed a diverse and flexible plan. This plan contains adjustments to the academic calendar, changes to the daily schedule, and the opportunity to make-up time through outside of class and/or online assignments. In some cases faculty and students can also decide to hold make-up courses if necessary. This revised syllabus reflects how this plan impacts our course.

As a student at The University of North Carolina Wilmington, I am committed to honesty and
truthfulness in academic inquiry and in the pursuit of knowledge. I pledge to uphold and promote
the UNCW Student Academic Honor Code.
The University of North Carolina Wilmington is a community of high academic standards where
academic integrity is valued. UNCW students are committed to honesty and truthfulness in
academic inquiry and in the pursuit of knowledge. This commitment begins when new students
matriculate at UNCW, continues as they create work of the highest quality while part of the
university community, and endures as a core value throughout their lives.
Please read and be familiar with the UNCW Student Academic Honor Code.
Academic dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated in this class.
If you have a disability and need reasonable accommodation in this course, you should inform the instructor of this fact in writing within the first week of class or as soon as possible. If you have not already done so, you must register the Office of Disability Services in DePaolo Hall (ext. 2-3746) and obtain a copy of your Accommodation Letter. You should then arrange a meeting to make mutually agreeable arrangements based on the recommendations of the Accommodation Letter.
UNCW takes all forms of interpersonal violence very seriously. When students disclose, first- or third-hand, to faculty or staff about sexual misconduct, domestic violence, dating violence and/or stalking, this information must be reported to the administration in order to ensure that students' rights are protected, appropriate resources are offered, and the need for further investigation is explored to maintain campus safety. There are three confidential resources who do not need to report interpersonal violence: UNCW CARE, the Student Health Center, and the Counseling Center. If you want to speak to someone in confidence, these resources are available, including CARE's 24-hour crisis line (910-512-4821). For more information, please visit www.uncw.edu/care
