Inclusive Course Goals & Actions

CS1951I is committed to the full inclusion of students. Our course goals and actions for the semester are the following:

1. Goal: Ensure that students of different religious backgrounds feel supported by the staff.
   Action: A Google form for students to request extensions or excused absences for a religious holiday that Brown does not officially observe.



2. Goal: Allow students to voice their opinions about the course.
   Action: An anonymous feedback form for students to submit any concerns or questions they have about the course.

Diversity & Accessibility Statements

The CSCI1951i course staff is committed to increasing the retention of historically underrepresented groups in upper level computer science classes. We believe that an inclusive environment allows students to thrive academically while also creating a diverse social atmosphere that is welcoming to all. We value all feedback about the environment that we are creating, so here is a link to our feedback form. You also can reach out to the Diversity and Inclusion Advocates here.

Accommodations: If you feel you have physical, psychological, or learning disabilities that could affect your performance in the course, we urge you to contact SEAS. We will do whatever we can to support accommodations recommended by SEAS.

Mental Health: The CSCI1951i staff cares deeply about student mental health. If there are any mental health issues that keep you from performing well at Brown, we encourage you to contact CAPS. They provide confidential, free counseling. Project LETS at Brown University also can provide access to Peer Mental Health Advocates. You can find more info on Project LETS here.
