DISABILITY RESOURCES

If you would like to request academic accommodations due to a disability, please contact Disability Resources for Students, 448 Schmitz, 206‐543‐8924 (V) or 206‐543‐8925 (TTY).

If you have a letter from Disability Resources for Students indicating you have a disability that requires academic accommodations, please discuss it with Prof. Brown, in person, within the first two weeks of the quarter to discuss your accommodations.

ABSENCES
If you are absent from the midterm examination through sickness or other valid, unavoidable cause, your performance on the final exam will be used to construct a score for the missed exam.

Examples of unavoidable causes include: illness; death or serious illness in the immediate family; and – with prior notification – observance of regularly scheduled religious obligations, attendance at academic conferences or field trips, or participation in university‐sponsored activities, such as debating contests or athletics. Absence due to participation in university‐sponsored activities require PRIOR approval (please do this during the first or second week of the quarter).

Note: If you are absent from the Final examination, and you are ineligible for an incomplete according to UW regulations, a course grade of 0.0 will be given. If an incomplete is given, you must take the final exam for the same course in the next regular academic quarter in which it is offered to remove the incomplete.

ACADEMIC ETHICS

Original work performed in good faith is assumed on all assignments and exam components.

The Student Conduct Code (see http://www.washington.edu/students/handbook/conduct.html) outlines the following forms of academic misconduct:

1. 1Intentional misrepresentation of credentials
   

2. 2Falsification of data
   

3. 3Plagiarism
   

Failure to adhere to this code of ethics will result in prosecution as described in the Student Conduct Code. In short, if you have not done something yourself, do not attempt to pass it off as your work. If you have questions about what might cross the line, please do not hesitate to ask your lab or class instructor.
