Course Policies ST1

In-class Announcements:  You are responsible for using your official DUKE e-mail account to receive information and communicate with the instructors.   I am not responsible for forwarding or copying e-mails to third-party providers (aka gmail, yahoo etc.).  Be sure to check your Duke e-mail at least once a day for possible announcements in EOS 101.  Announcement e-mails will come through Canvas and will be archived under the Announcement tab.  If you are unsure about due dates, what’s coming up, etc. please check there first to see if your question has already been answered.  Also, DO READ, our announcement e-mails when they arrive!  🙂

Office Hours:  All of the office hours will be held virtually over Zoom.   My office hours will be held one  day of the week, for a four-hour window, during which you can visit and join over Zoom.  I will also hold office hours by appointment.  Details will be provided.

Keeping up in asynchronous course:  It is essential that you watch all of the lectures and keep up with the material and schedule.  Exams are based ENTIRELY on the material covered in lecture and homework assignments, and you will not do well by “just” reading the optional textbook’s relevant chapters.

If you find yourself falling behind two or more consecutive lectures due to illness or family emergency PLEASE contact the instructor immediately.  Duke University has established procedures to deal with short-term and long-term absences due to illness, as well as family emergencies.

Academic Integrity: Duke University holds its students to the highest standards of academic integrity and honesty.  Academic dishonesty of any kind is not tolerated and might result in failure of the assignment, and/or course, and/or expulsion from the university.  Plagiarism on written assignments will result in a zero for the assignment and might result in further disciplinary action through the university.  As a Duke student you pledge to uphold the Duke Community Standard:

I will not lie, cheat, or steal in my academic endeavors;

I will conduct myself honorably in all my endeavors; and

I will act if the Standard is compromised.
