Dept. of Computer Science Code of Conduct

The Department of Computer Science is committed to providing and maintaining a supportive educational environment for all. We strive to be welcoming and inclusive, respect privacy and confidentiality, behave respectfully and courteously, and practice intellectual honesty. Disruptive behaviors will not be tolerated. The complete CS Code of Conduct (PDF) describes these expectations in full. We expect every member of this class to adhere to this code, as well as the UA Student Code of Conduct.

Classroom Behavior Policy

To foster a positive learning environment, students and instructors share responsibility for maintaining a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space where everyone can challenge themselves to succeed. Our focus during lecture is on the material at hand, not on extraneous activities such as texting, chatting, reading unrelated material, making phone calls, or web surfing.

Students are asked to refrain from disruptive conversations during lecture. Anyone who continues to disrupt the class will be asked to leave and may be reported to the Dean of Students.

Please also refrain from using personal electronics — such as laptops and tablets — during lecture, except for the purpose of taking notes.

Threatening Behavior Policy

The UA Threatening Behavior by Students Policy prohibits threats of physical harm to any member of the University community, including threats to oneself. See the full policy for details.

UA Nondiscrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy

The University of Arizona is committed to creating and maintaining an environment free of discrimination. See the UA Nondiscrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy for the complete statement and reporting procedures.
