UNIVERSITY CIVILITY STATEMENT  

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY  

Civility  is  genuine  respect  and  regard  for  others:  politeness,     consideration,  tact,  good  manners,  graciousness,  cordiality,  affability,     amiability  and  courteousness.  Civility  enhances  academic  freedom     and  integrity,  and  is  a  prerequisite  to  the  free  exchange  of  ideas  and     knowledge  in  the  learning  community.  Our  community  consists  of     students,  faculty,  staff,  alumni,  and  campus  visitors.  Community     members  affect  each  other’s  well-­‐being  and  have  a  shared  interest  in     creating  and  sustaining  an  environment  where  all  community     members  and  their  points  of  view  are  valued  and  respected.     Affirming  the  value  of  each  member  of  the  university  community,  the     campus  asks  that  all  its  members  adhere  to  the  principles  of  civility     and  community  adopted  by  the  campus:  http://civility.utk.edu/.    

“An  essential  feature  of  the  University     of  Tennessee,  Knoxville  is  a     commitment  to  maintaining  an     atmosphere  of  intellectual  integrity     and  academic  honesty.  As  a  student     of  the  university,  I  pledge  that  I  will     neither  knowingly  give  nor  receive  any     inappropriate  assistance  in  academic     work,  thus  affirming  my  own  personal     commitment  to  honor  and  integrity.”    

DISABILITIES THAT CONSTRAIN   LEARNING  

YOUR ROLE IN IMPROVING TEACHING AND   LEARNING THROUGH COURSE ASSESSMENT  

“Any  student  who  feels  he  or  she  may  need  an     accommodation  based  on  the  impact  of  a  disability     should  contact  the  Office  of  Disability  Services     (ODS)  at  865-­‐974-­‐6087  in  2227  Dunford  Hall  to     document  their  eligibility  for  services.  ODS  will     work  with  students  and  faculty  to  coordinate     reasonable  accommodations  for  students  with     documented  disabilities.”    

At  UT,  it  is  our  collective  responsibility  to  improve  the     state  of  teaching  and  learning.  During  the  semester,  you     may  be  requested  to  assess  aspects  of  this  course  either     during  class  or  at  the  completion  of  the  class.  You  are     encouraged  to  respond  to  these  various  forms  of     assessment  as  a  means  of  continuing  to  improve  the     quality  of  the  UT  learning  experience.
