Students with Disabilities: I need to hear from anyone
who has a disability which may require some modification of seating,
testing, or other class requirements so that appropriate arrangements
may be made. Please see me after class or during my office hours.
Complaint Procedures: In the event of a ``complaint'', the first step would be to speak with the Instructor. Alternatively one could speak with the Physics, Astronomy, and Geology Chair in 277 Brown Hall.
