Student Conduct:
If you have a documented disability that requires accommodations, you will need to
register with Student Disability Services for coordination of your academic
accommodations. The Student Disability Services (SDS) office is located at 1600 David
Adamany Undergraduate Library in the Student Academic Success Services department.
SDS telephone number is 313-577-1851 or 313-577-3365 (TTY: telecommunication device
for the deaf; phone for hearing impaired students only). Once you have your
accommodations in place, I will be glad to meet with you privately during my office
hours to discuss your special needs. Student Disability Services’ mission is to assist the
university in creating an accessible community where students with disabilities have an
equal opportunity to fully participate in their educational experience at Wayne State
University.
All students are expected to attend all lectures, quizzes, and examinations with
enthusiasm. Although classroom attendance does not mathematically contribute to the
final course grade, active class participation is expected of all students and may help to
boost up the course grade in those “borderline” cases” between failing and passing.
