We will be using Blackboard Virtual Classroom for synchronous classes and MS Teams for office hours. Attendance at the lectures is not required, but you are responsible for all class notes, announcements, assignments, etc. Requests to write any exam prior to the scheduled date will NEVER be granted. In case a student misses a midterm exam for a valid reason, your final grade will be determined from the remaining exams and other grade components. Medical or Compassionate Absences: Given the potential for ongoing health-related concerns, the University has made the decision to extend the use of the student self-report of illness interface, and to continue to waive the requirement to submit medical notes for the Winter 2021 semester. To self-report illness, please see the following link: http://ask.uwindsor.ca/app/answers/detail/a_id/577. Determinations about whether and how to accommodate students who submit requests for consideration based on compassionate grounds will as usual be made by instructors and/or the

Associate Dean, in keeping with any standard procedures within specific Faculties and the Senate bylaws.

Late assignments will be marked off at 20% per school day late including the due date, up to 3 days. However, if you have any legitimate reasons (e.g., sick, etc.), then the late penalty may be waived and the weight of the assignment will be distributed over the other course components. Students who miss any exam without a valid reason will receive a zero grade for the exam. If the final exam is missed (for a valid reason), a makeup exam will be arranged on the Alternate Exam Date. Student Accessibility Services (SAS) provides services/supports to students, with documented disabilities, who have registered with SAS. If you have or think you may have a disability, please contact SAS http://www.uwindsor.ca/studentaccessibility . University Senate Bylaw 31 for Academic Integrity

No student is allowed to take a course more than two times without permission from the Associate Dean of Science. Additional/specific course related details are available on the course website/BlackBoard Only email originating from a valid University of Windsor student account will be accepted from students wishing to contact the instructor through email. The best way to reach me outside of class time is via MS Teams or email. Because I do not want to lose your email in the morass of less important notices, I ask that you use subject lines that start with "COMP3300 - " then specify the topic of this particular email, e.g. " COMP3300 - requesting a meeting" or " COMP3300 - question about the test". I will always do my best to respond within 1 business day.
