Please notify us if there are aspects of the instruction or design of this course that result in barriers to your participation! You are also encouraged to contact the Accessible Education Center in 164 Oregon Hall at 541-346-1155 or uoaec@uoregon.edu.
We are committed to making this course an inclusive and respectful learning space. Being respectful includes using preferred pronouns for your classmates. Your classmates come from a diverse set of backgrounds and experiences; please avoid assumptions or stereotypes, and aim for inclusivity. Let us know if there are classroom dynamics that impede your (or someone else’s) full engagement.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this course is being delivered entirely remotely. We realize that this situation makes it difficult for some students to interact with the material, for a variety of reasons. We are committed to flexibility during this stressful time and emphasize that we will work with students to overcome difficult barriers as they arise.
