<h3>University policies</h3> <h3>University policies</h3>
<p>Insert updated (7/2010) university policies here.</p> <h4>Grading Criteria</h4>
<p>A - Student has turned in all required components of a project, the work is exceptional in quality, and reflects the student's dedication to adjusting the project to his or her own interests.</p>
<p>B - Student has turned in all required components of a project and submitted work that is acceptable as graduate level.</p>
<p>C - Student has turned in all required components of a project, but the work is below graduate level.</p>
<p>E - Student has not turned in all required components of a project.</p>

<h4>Attendance and Participation</h4>
<p>Your attendance and active participation are required both for your own success in the class, and for the success of the class as a whole. However, if you absolutely must miss, you must contact the instructor ahead of time via email.</p>

<h4>Academic Honesty</h4>
<p>As with any course at IIT, you are expected to uphold the Code of Academic Honesty in the <a href="">Undergraduate Student Handbook</a>. All work for this course should be your own original effort, including print and digital page design and computer code. Summarizations and quotations of text, as well as any use of open source code libraries and images not of your own making, should be clearly cited as legally and ethically warranted and rhetorically appropriate.</p>

<p>If you are at all uncertain as to whether you are submitting work that in whole or in part may violate the Code of Academic Honesty, please contact me immediately and before the work is due. The consequences of academic dishonesty are severe. Any student who violates the Code of Academic Honesty will be subject to expulsion from this course with a failing grade, and I will report the student to the Chair of the Department of Humanities and the Associate Dean of Graduate Academic Affairs, who may take additional disciplinary action.</p>

<h4>Special Needs Statement</h4>
<p>Students who have any difficulty (either permanent or temporary) that might affect their ability to perform in class should contact me privately, either in person or via email, at the start of the semester. Methods, materials, or deadlines will be adapted as required to ensure equitable participation.</p>
