I will respond to your emails within 48 hours.
I will provide a supportive and safe environment for you to share and discuss ideas with your peers.
I will reach out to you when I sense that you need support.
I will treat you with dignity and respect and be flexible to support your individual needs.
I won't be perfect. I am human and will make mistakes at times. I will view mistakes as an opportunity to learn and grow.

I expect students to respect individual differences that may include race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, or other ideologies. Any behaviors that are intolerant, disrespectful, threatening, or otherwise disruptive are absolutely prohibited. Students who make it difficult for others to learn in a positive, and supportive environment will be asked to leave the class. See the UW conduct code.
In general, I do not accept late work. As completion of BEDUC 210 may affect graduation eligibility, it is especially important to complete work on time. I realize that we are not out of the pandemic yet; and so to accommodate the competing demands that you all might experience, most assignments (except peer review of blog posts and blog posts to our class blog site) have a grace period of 48 hours. This means that you may submit most assignments (see exceptions in the previous line) until 48 hours after the submission deadline. The draft blog post post and final blog post assignment however needs to be turned in on time. Late submissions of these assignments may not allow you to engage in peer reviews for this task and you will earn a zero for these assignments. Assignments that are submitted after this grace period will not be accepted unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor. If you are having difficulties (school, life, or otherwise), please make sure to communicate with me individually before the assignments are due and I will do my best to accommodate.
If you must be absent from class, you should write a letter to the instructor (approximately one-page or 350-500 words) to describe your major learning from readings AND class activities. This letter must be sent to the instructor within one week of the date that you missed the class meeting. To prepare for this assignment, you should follow the class agenda (posted on Class Notes), complete readings and view videos and listen to podcast (assigned for that day) as well as presentations (see Canvas modules), see missed writing exercise questions (see Class Participation assignment). When possible, also get notes from other students about what they learned from class discussions. Instructors’ presentations will be posted on Canvas via Class Notes. Handouts and other materials will be linked to that week’s Canvas module or posted via Class Notes. This requirement will be to compensate for your in-class contribution for that particular day and will be available for 2 absences.
Your experience in this class is important to me. It is the policy and practice of the University of Washington to create inclusive and accessible learning environments consistent with federal and state law. If you have already established accommodations with Disability Resources for Students (DRS), please activate your accommodations via myDRS so we can discuss how they will be implemented in this course.
If you have not yet established services through DRS, but have a temporary health condition or permanent disability that requires accommodations (conditions include but not limited to; mental health, attention-related, learning, vision, hearing, physical or health impacts), contact DRS directly to set up an Access Plan. DRS facilitates the interactive process that establishes reasonable accommodations. Contact DRS at uwbdrs@uw.edu.
Integrity is an institutional priority at the University of Washington. For this reason, you must attribute any ideas or writing to its sources. See our UWB library page for crucial information regarding academic integrity. The library also has an extremely useful website with resources. You are responsible for knowing what constitutes a violation of the University of Washington Student Code, and you will be held responsible for any such violations whether they were intentional or not. Here is another helpful website on plagiarism.

Washington state law requires that UW develop a policy for accommodation of student absences or significant hardship due to reasons of faith or conscience, or for organized religious activities. The UW’s policy, including more information about how to request an accommodation, is available at Religious Accommodations Policy (https://registrar.washington.edu/staffandfaculty/religious-accommodations-policy/). Accommodations must be requested within the first two weeks of this course using the Religious Accommodations Request form (https://registrar.washington.edu/students/religious-accommodations-request/).”
