Here are some considerations regarding your
use of the Rhetoric 1302 classrooms.
Please note that in addition to your
expectations and requirements as an instructor,
you also have responsibilities and expectations
to help maintain and secure the classroom environment.
More information is provided below.
Classroom Security
You are responsible for helping to protect
the computer equipment in each Rhetoric classroom
from theft and damage. Whenever your class ends
you should clear the classroom of students and
lock the door as you exit. You may not leave
students working in the classroom, or allow
other students to enter the room, unless you
plan to stay in the classroom yourself, or unless
the instructor for the class following yours
arrives.
Classroom Environment
Each Rhetoric classroom is smoke-free and drug-free.
Smoking and the use of drugs are prohibited
inside University buildings and in the classrooms.
The possession of firearms, weapons of any kinds,
or explosive materials on University premises
and in the classrooms is prohibited.
Food and eating are not allowed in the Rhetoric
classrooms at any time.
Persons with Disabilities
The University of Texas at Dallas is committed
to support the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Any student with special needs should contact
the Office
of Disability Services (972-883-2098) prior
to enrollment. An instructor with special needs
should discuss those needs directly with the
Director of Rhetoric.
You must include a statement in your
syllabus notifying students of their
responsibility to contact and register with
the Office of Disability Services.
Here is an example statement:
Students needing academic
accommodations for a disability must
contact the Office of Disability Services
(972-883-2098), to verify the disability and
establish eligibility for accommodations. Students
with disabilities are responsible to make their
disabilities known and to meet all course expectations,
including attendance, participation, performance,
and work standards.
