| Class Climate: |
I strive to provide an inclusive climate in which each student
feels welcome and free to question, contributes to the discussion,
thrives and learns independent of gender identification, race, sexual
orientation, disability, economic background, national origin or
religious affiliation. I expect students to contribute actively to
this learning environment through open and respectful verbal and written
communication with me and the other students. Discrimination or harassment of any form will not be tolerated I welcome any and all suggestions for improving your learning environment this semester. Feel free to send me a short e-mail if you wish to be called by a name different than that on the official roster. Please also let me know which pronouns you'd like me to use when referring to you this semester - this is not required but it will help me make you as comfortable as possible. I prefer to be addressed as either Dr. or Prof. Segre. |

| Academic Honesty Policy: | All students are expected to adhere to the IIT Code of Academic Honesty. The first violation will result in a grade of "zero" for that assignment (exam or quiz). Subsequent violations will result in a failing grade in the course. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Accomodation for Disabilities: | Reasonable accommodations will be made for students with documented disabilities. In order to receive accommodations, students must obtain a letter of accommodation from the Center for Disability Resources in IIT Tower, Room 3F3-1, 312-567-5744 or disabilities@iit.edu. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Title IX Compliance: | Illinois Tech is committed to fostering a safe, productive learning environment. Title IX and our school policy prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex as well as all forms of sexual misconduct or harassment. If you have experienced such an incident, please consult the HEA Compliance web site for resources available to you. As an employee of Illinois Tech, I am always concerned about each and every student's well-being, but please note that I am required to report any such incidents reported to me to Illinois Tech's Title IX coordinator and therefore cannot guarantee confidentiality. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
