They understand that priorities must be made and that there are prices to pay for under-achievement, missing deadlines, and incomplete assignments. If there is any student in this class who is in need of academic accommodations and who is registered with the Office of Services for students with Disabilities, please make an individual appointment with the course instructor to discuss accommodations.
