Needs and Accomodations

Basic Needs


Any student who has difficulty affording groceries or accessing sufficient food to eat every day, or who lacks a safe and stable place to live and believes this may affect their performance in the course, is urged to contact the office of the Vice President for Student Affairs (vpsao@okstate.edu) for support.


Furthermore, please notify me if you are comfortable in doing so. This will enable me to provide any resources that I can.


Accessibility


If you have an accessibilty need (e.g., video captions, particular assesment completion needs) please see Student Accessibility Services.

After working with SAS it is then your responsibility to inform me of your needs, if you so desire.


PLEASE do this in a timely fashion so that I can make the necessary arrangements. I am legally bound to treat such information as confidential. I am happy to work with you.


Student Hours


I don’t have specific office hours for this course because… *waves hands at all of THIS* but I want to meet with you! If you want/need to meet please let me know!!


Communicate with me: The most important thing you can do and the theme running through this entire syllabus is TALK TO ME. I can’t help if I don’t know you need it. I love teaching. I love my students and I want to help. Please don’t be like hat-fire-fine-dog.
