Student-Faculty Expectations Agreement At Georgia Tech we believe that it is important to strive for an atmosphere of mutual respect, acknowledgement, and responsibility between faculty members and the student body. See http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/rules/22/ for an articulation of some basic expectation that you can have of me and that I have of you. In the end, simple respect for knowledge, hard work, and cordial interactions will help build the environment we seek. Therefore, I encourage you to remain committed to the ideals of Georgia Tech while in this class.
Statement of Intent for Inclusivity
As a member of the Georgia Tech community, I am committed to creating a
learning environment in which all of my students feel safe and included.
Because we are individuals with varying needs, I am reliant on your
feedback to achieve this goal. To that end, I invite you to enter into
dialogue with me about the things I can stop, start, and continue doing
to make my classroom an environment in which every student feels valued
and can engage actively in our learning community.
