== Policies == === Respect === Students are expected to treat each other, and the instructor, with respect. Students are prohibited from engaging in any kind of harassment or derogatory behavior, which includes offensive verbal comments or imagery related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, or religion. In addition, students should not engage in any form of inappropriate physical contact or unwelcome sexual attention, and should respect each others’ right to privacy in regards to their personal life. In the event that you feel you (or another student) have been subject to a violation of this policy, please reach out to the instructor in whichever form you prefer. === Attendance and participation === Students are expected to attend class regularly. If you run into a conflict that requires you to be absent (for example, medical issues) feel free to reach out to me. I will do my best to ensure that you don't miss out, and will treat your information as confidential. If you miss class session, please do not ask me what you missed during class; check the website or ask a classmate. Graded in-class activities cannot be made up if you miss a class session. === Electronics === Laptops, tablets, and other electronic devices are strongly discouraged from use in this class. Use of such devices greatly detracts from student participation in discussions and activities. Should you choose to bring a device to class, I reserve the right to (a) request that the device be put away and/or (b) request that you no longer bring electronics to class at my own discretion. The bottom line is pretty much “abuse it and lose it.” === Office Hours === I am available to answer questions, discuss concerns, and provide clarifications regarding individual assignments and/or the class as a whole on Mondays, 12-1pm and Wednesdays, 3:30-4:30pm in CMU 333. If you are unable to meet during those times, please email to set up an appointment. === Email === Please add [COM 220] to the subject of any email you send. I will strive to respond within 24 hours, excluding Saturdays and Sundays. Questions that may benefit the entire class should be posted on the [https://canvas.uw.edu/courses/1303239/discussion_topics Canvas discussion board]. === Late assignments === This class has in-class and online assignments. You must be in class for the duration in order to receive credit for in-class homework. You must turn in online homework by the stated deadline. If you miss a homework (either by not turning it in on-time or not being present), you will receive a zero. There are no make-ups. === Grade appeals === If you wish to challenge a grade you received on an assignment, you must wait 24 hours after receiving the grade. Refer back to the assignment description in order to identify areas you felt were misgraded. As a side note, “I tried really hard” is not an argument for a grade change. I can only grade product, not effort. After 24 hours, make an appointment with me to discuss the grade. If you are still not satisfied with the response that you receive, you may contact the chair of the Department of Communication. You have two weeks after receiving a grade to challenge it. After two weeks, grade challenges will not be considered. === Incompletes === Incompletes are granted only when there is a serious emergency and when the extension is cleared before the last day of regular class meetings. For more on incomplete grades, see the [http://www.washington.edu/students/reg/incomplete.html UW Incomplete Policy]. === Academic integrity and plagiarism === Students at the University of Washington (UW) are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic conduct, professional honesty, and personal integrity. Plagiarism, or academic dishonesty, is presenting someone else's ideas or writing as your own. In your writing for this class, you are encouraged to refer to other people's thoughts and writing, as long as you cite them. The use of any material without attribution, or any type of self-plagiarism from work previously used in any other setting is not allowed in this class and will be handled according to University of Washington regulations. You can find out more about the [https://depts.washington.edu/grading/pdf/AcademicResponsibility.pdf UW Academic Conduct Code] and the [https://www.washington.edu/cssc/student-conduct-overview/student-code-of-conduct/ UW Student Conduct Code]. It is your responsibility to read and understand the University's expectations. Until you have read the Code, do not assume that you know what this University defines as academic misconduct. === Disability and accommodations === Your experience in this class is important to me. If you have already established accommodations with Disability Resources for Students (DRS), please communicate your approved accommodations to me at your earliest convenience so we can discuss your needs 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), you are welcome to contact DRS at 448 Schmitz, 206-543-8924/V, 206-543-8925/TTY, uwdrs@uw.edu, or disability.uw.edu. DRS offers resources and coordinates reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities and/or temporary health conditions. Reasonable accommodations are established through an interactive process between you, your instructor(s) and DRS. 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 any questions about this policy, please reach out to me directly. === Additional Resources === ==== Health ==== There are many different kinds of support services on campus such as the Counseling Center and Hall Health. If you are concerned about yourself or a friend that is struggling, [https://www.washington.edu/safecampus/ Safe Campus] is a helpful resource for getting access to campus-based support. ==== Basic needs ==== Any student who faces challenges securing their food or housing and believes this may affect their performance in the course is urged to contact the [https://grad.uw.edu/about-the-graduate-school/leadership/ Graduate Deans] for support. More resources available through the [https://www.washington.edu/anyhungryhusky/ Any Hungry Husky] program. Furthermore, please notify me if you are comfortable in doing so. This will enable me to provide any resources that I may possess. ==== Resources for harassment ==== Title IX makes it clear that violence and harassment based on sex and gender is a Civil Rights offense subject to the same kinds of accountability and the same kinds of support applied to offenses against other protected categories such as race, national origin, etc. If you or someone you know has been harassed or assaulted, you can find the appropriate resources here: https://www.washington.edu/crs/ and https://depts.washington.edu/livewell/saris/sexual-assault/
