New Student Seminar Information

Grading

This class is a pass/fail course.
In order to pass the course each student must attend at least 9 lectures and complete at least 8 of the labs.  After each lab exercise you will be required to answer some questions about the lab using BYU's online system called Blackboard.  This will be how we track your lab participation.  You will also be required to indicate on Blackboard whether you attended the lecture for a given week.  We will rely on your honesty in filling this out (see Honor Code below).  Click here to be linked to Blackboard. 

Honor Code

I expect you to live the honor code. Cheating of any kind will result in a failing grade in the course.

Preventing Sexual Harassment

Title IX of the Educational Amendment of 1972 prohibits sex discrimination against any participants in an educational program or activity that receives federal funds. The act is intended to eliminate sex discrimination in education. Title IX covers discrimination in programs, admissions, activities, and student-to-student sexual harassment. BYU's policy against sexual harassment extends not only to employees of the university but to students as well. If you encounter unlawful sexual harassment or gender based discrimination, please talk to your professor; contact the Equal Employment Office at 378-5895 or 367-5689 (24-hour); or contact the Honor Code Office at 378-2847.

Students with Disabilities

Brigham Young University is committed to providing a working and learning atmosphere which reasonably accommodates qualified persons with disabilities. If you have any disability which may impair your ability to complete this course successfully, please contact the Services for Students with Disabilities Office (378-2767). Reasonable academic accommodations are reviewed for all students who have qualified documented disabilities. Services are coordinated with the student and instructor by the SSD Office. If you need assistance or if you feel you have been unlawfully discriminated against on the basis of disability, you may seek resolution through established grievance policy and procedures. You should contact the Equal Employment Office at 378-5895, D-282 ASB.
