Respect for Diversity

It is my intent that students from all backgrounds and perspectives be well-served by our CS classes, that all students feel supported, 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 strength and a resource. It is my intent to present materials and activities that are respectful of diversity: gender and gender identity, sexuality, disability, age, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, race, religion, 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 so that everyone may feel supported and included.
