hat about students with disabilities?
If a student has a disability, that student must bring you an official letter to that effect from the Dean of Students’ office. Usually, students may need extra time to take an exam or other accommodations. You are not obligated to give any students your notes, but if you use overheads or PowerPoint, disabled students must have access to them. Here is the statement that all syllabi have to have regarding students with disabilities: ADA Statement: “Students with disabilities, who need reasonable modifications to complete assignments successfully and otherwise satisfy course criteria, are encouraged to meet with the instructor as early in the course as possible to identify and plan specific accommodations.
