Other points 1) Disability. Any student who feels they may need specific accomodation based on the impact of a disability may contact either of the instructors privately to discuss their need. We rely on the Office for Disability Services for assistance in verifying the need for accommodations and developing accommodation strategies. If you have not previously contacted the Office for Disability Services, we encourage you to do so. 2) Attendance. Class attendance is voluntary and students can (and may be required to) work outside scheduled class hours, however, not all the curriculum can be found on the website or any other location and attendance at class is recommended. Instructors can not guarantee to make up material for students missing class. 3) Academic misconduct. Exams and the final report should be your own work. Any use of material from other sources (class members, literature or world-wide-web) should be cited.
