You are expected to attend all lectures. Absence does not relieve you from meeting all course requirements. You are responsible for all reading, assignments, and exams. Keep up with the day-to-day reading requirements of the class.
All students are expected to attend and participate in person at an assigned day/time – determined by instructor within assigned class schedule. Some course content will be delivered online asynchronously. (see schedule below).
Health and Safety Considerations:
Following CDC Guidelines, UNC System directives, and out of mutual
respect as outlined in the UNCW Seahawk Respect Compact, all faculty, staff,
and students will wear face coverings while inside buildings. Students who are
unprepared or unwilling to wear protective face coverings will not be permitted
to participate in face-to-face sessions and will need to leave the building.
Noncompliant students will be referred to the Dean of Students for an Honor
Code Violation. Any student who has a medical concern with wearing a face
covering should contact the Disability Resource Center at (910) 962-7555.
Students who experience COVID-19 symptoms should immediately contact
the Abrons Student Health Center at (910) 962-3280.
Students
with diagnosed disabilities should contact the Disability Resource Center.
Students
are responsible for submitting their own work. Students who cooperate on oral
or written examinations or work without authorization share the responsibility
for violation of academic principles, and the students are subject to
disciplinary action even when one of the students is not enrolled in the course
where the violation occurred.
