Diversity Maine West is ethnically, racially, and socioeconomically diverse, and your interactions with students there will help prepare you to teach students from those diverse backgrounds. You also need to be aware of students' gender, religion, sexual orientation, language, and abilities and of how your own background and biases affect your teaching. Technology may include resources from the Internet, software, lessons involving hands-on computer instruction, videos or other visuals, graphic organizers, or whatever your creativity with available resources invents.

Academic honesty is an expression of an ethic of interpersonal justice, responsibility, and care.
It demands that the pursuit of knowledge be conducted with sincerity and care. Thus academic dishonesty, including plagiarizing the work of others, cheating on tests, violating copyright laws, or conducting research on human subjects without IRB approval, will make the individual subject to discipline which may range from failure on the assignment to dismissal from the university. Professionalism includes being present, on time, and engaged. Loyola University does not tolerate racial, sexual, or other forms of harassment of faculty, staff, or students. If you feel you are subject to such harassment, you should notify your instructor.
