Procedures
 As required by UCM policy, a cloth face covering that covers your nose and mouth
must be worn in the classroom. Only students with a documented exemption sent to
me by UCM's Office of Accessibility Services are excused from this requirement.
Please know that conditions and requirements may change during the semester. You
can stay updated by visiting https://www.ucmo.edu/news/media-resources/corona-
virus-covid-19/.
 You are expected to attend lectures based on the established groups and schedule.
 Lectures will be the primary mechanism of instruction used in this course. At times,
computer demonstrations and in-class activities may also be used.
 Assignments and project(s) that are to be completed outside of class will be given
throughout the semester. The course will also have two midterm exams.
 Make-up exams will be given for valid excuses. The student will initiate the responsibility of
a make-up exam.
 I do a lot of communication by email. It’s important that you include ‘CSxxxx’ and
‘Section information’ along with the topic of the specific email in the subject header. (I
receive a lot of email every day; this will help me filter).Turn your cell-phone off
(preferred) or put it on vibrate mode during class.
 Blackboard is used for course management/assignment submission. Go to
https://ucmo.blackboard.com/ (logon using your UCM ID)
o Upload your assignment using UCM Blackboard
o Typed preferable (word file or PDF); as an alternate option, you may scan your
handwritten version, save as a PDF file, and upload—make sure that your
scanned version is readable. (Do NOT save your scanned file as jpg or other
format).

Student with Disabilities

Students with documented disabilities who are seeking academic accommodations should contact

Academic Honesty
All in-class and out-of-class assignments must be the student’s own work. Plagiarism will not be
tolerated. Plagiarism consists of using another person’s words, thoughts, or ideas as one’s own. If
you have any questions about this very serious issue, please ask me. Additionally, I follow the
Academic Honesty policy as set forth in the UCM Student Planner-Handbook (pp.172-73). A
student who plagiarizes will receive a failing grade on the assignment and may not receive credit
for the course.

respect and trust. Sex discrimination, including sexual harassment, sexual violence, and other
forms of sexual misconduct will not be tolerated. All faculty and most staff are considered

misconduct to the Title IX Coordinator. As a faculty member of the University, I am a mandated

reporter.
