Course Outline: We will use the materials as they are outlined in the Table of Contents of our topic manual. The instructor reserves the right to make changes to the outline if necessary and will notify students at that time during the class.

Attendance: Due to the fact that this class has only one meeting, registrants are expected to be present for that meeting. If you cannot make the class for which you registered, you are encouraged to sign up through UTTC for another one at a later date.

Student Conduct: Instructors are responsible for maintaining order and a positive learning environment in the classroom. Students whose behavior is disruptive either to the instructor or to other students will be asked to leave. Students whose behavior suggests the need for counseling or other assistance may be referred to their college office or University Counseling Services. Students whose behavior may violate the University Student Conduct Code may be referred to the Director of the University Counseling Office.

Sexual Harassment: University policy prohibits sexual harassment as defined in the University policy statement of 17 May 1984; copies of this statement are available in 419 Morrill Hall. Complaints about sexual harassment should be reported to the University Office of Equal Opportunity, 419 Morrill Hall.

Other Student Behaviors:
• Be on time. Class time is short.
• Turn off your cell phones and pagers during class.
• Be polite. Do not interrupt others. Do not use vulgar language.
• Do not read materials unrelated to the course during class lectures.
• Do not work on anything unrelated to the course during formal class activities.

Computer Lab Considerations: This class is often taught in a multi-platform computer environment, so students will usually have the option of using their preferred computer operating system. However, due to the highly sophisticated coding of our applications every function might not work appropriately on every platform with every variety of browser and/or configuration. Please work with the instructor to resolve any hardware and software issues encountered during the class.
