• A valid regrade request should include a specific reason for the regrade.
• Remember that we try very hard to assign partial credit fairly and consistently, so unless an actual mistake occurred, your regrade request may be declined to ensure fairness to all students.

Late Policy

• You have a total of eight late days that you can use throughout the quarter as you need them.
• A late day means anything between 1 second and 23 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds past a deadline.
• You should save your late days for when unexpected circumstances arise that prevent you from turning in your homework on time.
• It is very unlikely that additional extensions beyond these days will be approved, so use them wisely.

Diversity and Inclusion

We strive to create a learning environment that supports a diversity of thoughts and perspectives, and respects each student's individuality and identity. We make mistakes, though, and if these is a way we can make you feel more included, please let one of the course staff know in any way you feel comfortable. We also expect you as a student to honor and respect your classmates and abide by the UCSC Principles of Community. Building an effective learning environment is only possible with mutual respect. Each student must feel comfortable admitting when they don't understand or risking being wrong in public. Please make an effort to protect this space. We do not tolerate intolerance. If you experience any sort of harassment or discrimination, please contact the instructor as soon as possible. If you prefer to speak with someone outside of the course, please see the options below.

• How to report hate or bias
• How to report sexual harrassment
• CARE (free and confidential support services)
• Crisis Assistance and Suicide Prevention

DRC accomodations

If you are a student with a disability who requires accommodations to achieve equal access in this course, please submit your Accommodation Authorization Letter from the Disability Resource Center (DRC) to me privately during my office hours or by appointment or by email, preferably within the first two weeks of the quarter.
