Additional details or exceptions to allotment:
Plan for make-up participation points, if applicable (e.g. .submit additional blog posts on Canvas):
Please explain why absences beyond the number allowed in the syllabus is not a reasonable accommodation.- There is significant interaction between the instructor and students
during the class meeting (e.g., discussion, interactive experiences,
problem solving).
- There is significant classroom interaction among students during
the class session (e.g., peer review, teamwork, group discussion).
- A fundamental learning objective relies on active student
participation during the class meeting (e.g., lab experiments, paired
languagelearning, performance work, clinical placement rotations).
- The student’s absence or variable attendance will constitute a
significant loss of the educational experience for the student and/or
classmates (e.g., group or paired projects, performances) and/or
cause a disturbance to course instruction.

If applicable, please detail the notification plan for requesting assignment extensions.
Please explain why deadline extensions beyond the number allowed in the syllabus is not a reasonable accommodation.- If an assignment is not completed by the deadline, the student be
unprepared to fully participate in a class meeting.
- If the assignment is not completed by the deadline, there will be a direct
impact on the learning experience for the student and/or classmates
(e.g., team projects, participation)
- Meeting assignment deadlines constitute a learning objective of
the course (completing creative assignments within time constraints is artistic discipline)
- An additional day or two extension alter the purpose and ability to
grade the assignment using the same criteria applied to the class as the student would have the benefit of having heard feedback on other students' work.

- The sole exception are the (2) Critical Response Papers. A mutually agreed upon extension is resonable.
