Metas del curso y requisitos
Las clases, discusiones, y trabajos colaborativos para este curso se llevarán a cabo únicamente en español. La participación activa en clase es esencial para el buen funcionamiento del curso (y es un 25% de la nota). Se espera que los estudiantes vengan ampliamente preparados y con todas las tareas asignadas hechas antes de venir a clase, para poder participar activamente. También, todas las tareas se dejarán en CANVAS.

COURSE POLICIES:
Diversity and Inclusion:
I strive to provide an inclusive learning environment in which all students feel safe and respected. I appreciate diversity and respect each student’s individuality. I welcome individuals of all ages, backgrounds, beliefs, ethnicities, genders, identities, national origins, religious affiliations, sexual affiliations, sexual orientations, ability, and other visible and nonvisible differences.
Students should know:
- Every student will be treated with respect and fairness by the professor.
- Students are expected to treat their classmates and the professor with respect at all times.
- Any student who has suggestions or concerns about inclusivity should talk to the professor. Your feedback and suggestions are welcome!
To promote an inclusive learning environment:
- “Participation” is not based on attendence, but on student engagement with course activities.
- All learning opportunities will be accessible to everyone to promote engagement of all students.
- Inclusive Language and images will be used in course materials.

Washington state law requires that UW develop a policy for accommodation of student absences or significant hardship due to reasons of faith or conscience, or for organized religious activities.
