Any student with a documented disability needing academic adjustments or accommodations is requested to speak to me by the end of the second week of the term. All discussions will remain confidential, although the Student Disabilities Coordinator may be consulted to verify the documentation of the disability and to discuss appropriate accommodations. At the beginning of the term, you will be given an unknown genomic sequence to analyze. You should also explore the web for any kind of analysis you might find useful. At the end of the term, you will hand in a report detailing what you have learned about your sequence.
More details are available on the unknowns.
Dartmouth operates on the principle of academic honor, without proctoring of examinations. Students who submit work which is not their own or who commit other acts of academic dishonesty forfeit the opportunity to continue at Dartmouth. The provisions of the Academic Honor Principle are published in the Student Handbook and the bulletin of Organization, Regulations, and Courses. This Principle is an important part of your Dartmouth experience. Honesty is the foundation of the academic pursuit of knowledge.
