6. ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT: Material submitted for course grade credit must be your own work. Presentations will be a team effort. Your instructor will report any suspected case to the University Academic Misconduct Committee for investigation. Past cases have typically resulted in the assignment of a grade of E for the course. Academic misconduct is a serious threat to the integrity and value of the Ohio State diploma. Such conduct cannot be tolerated.
6. DISABILITY ACCOMODATION: If you need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability, arrange an appointment with me as soon as possible. We need to discuss the course format and explore potential accommodations. I rely on the Office for Disability Services for assistance in verifying need and developing accommodation strategies. You should start the verification process as soon as possible.
