Respect for Diversity

It is my intent that students from all diverse backgrounds and perspectives be well-served by this course, that students' learning needs be addressed both in and out of class, and that the diversity that students bring to this class be viewed as a resource, strength, and benefit. It is my intent to present materials and activities that are respectful of diversity: gender, sexuality, disability, age, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, race, and culture. Your suggestions are encouraged and appreciated. Please let me know ways to improve the effectiveness of the course for you personally or for other students or student groups. In addition, if any of our class meetings conflict with your religious events, please let me know so that we can make arrangements for you.

Inclusive Learning Environment

We are all working together toward a common goal - to successfully complete Math 3A and to develop our Calculus skills to help prepare for Math 3B. To that end, we want our class to be inclusive, our ideas to be welcomed, and everyone to feel that important sense of belonging needed to succeed.

Every student in this class, regardless of personal history or identity categories, is a member of this group. Your experiences are important and you should share them as they become relevant to our class. No student in this class is ever expected or believed to speak for all members of their group(s).

My main rule is that you not prevent others or yourself from learning. Please ask questions, there is no such thing as a dumb questions. Our classroom is a safe environment where we will all respect each and treat each other with kindness.

In this classroom, you have the right to determine your own identity. You have the right to be called by whatever name you wish. You have the right to be referred to by whatever pronouns you wish. You have the right to adjust those things at any point in your education.

If you find that there are aspects of course instruction, subject matter, or class environment that result in barriers to your inclusion, please contact me privately without fear of reprisal.
