## Accommodation
Accommodation is your right
- Co-producing access for all participants in a space or event
- Legally mandated, but also so much more
- Mandated by multiple laws in Higher Education (That is why UW has a DRS office)
- Ongoing and constant legal challenges, especially to the [ADA](http://www.webaim.org/coordination/law/us/ada)
- In addition, 147 countries have ratified the **UN Convention on Rights of PD** (2006)

## Some US laws
- **Individuals with Disabilities Education Act** (IDEA, 1975): Free appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment to every child with a disability.
- Section 503 of the **Rehab Act** (1973): Equal access to government services
- **Americans with Disabilities Act** (1990): Equal access to all goods/services

# How is this class accessible? (1/3)
Mental health concerns benefit from disability accommodations

- **Academic Integrity**: A course value and requirement See our [Academic Conduct]({{site.baseurl}}/academic-conduct) page for more details
In our class this means:
- we have tried to structure the class to support you (e.g. up to 5
late days without questions asked). If you need further accommodations
for any reason, consider working with
[DRS](https://depts.washington.edu/uwdrs/) as well as us.

# How is this class accessible? (2/3)
Don't plagiarize. If you use someone else's text, quote them and reference them.
Sometimes students with disabilities, such as chronic illness or mental health concerns (which are both very common disabilities among college students) may need to participate in class remotely.
In addition to being expected based on UW policy, this is a form of [*Citational Justice*](nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00793-1)
and thus an important xepression of disability justice values in our class. Therefore
- If you plagiarize you will receive a 0 on participation for that assignment
- If you plagiarize on any assignment, you will receive a non-competent on your disability justice competency
**Also** some disabled students may be at high risk for COVID, and should not have to worry that attending class could cause them to become ill.
--
In our class, this means:
- We provide for hybrid participation
- We provide masks and encourage masking in person
- We attend class remotely if we have cold, flu, or suspected COVID symptoms
---
# Is this class hybrid?
# How is this class Hybrid?
**No**, it is intended to be attended, in person, by everyone in the class
**Attendance is expected**, by everyone in the class.
**Yes**, because:
- It is possible to be full remote *with permission of the instructor*
- It is expected you will be remote in any particular week for the following reasons:
- If you have cold or flu symptoms or suspect you have COVID
- If you have caregiving obligations
- If you have mental health concerns or any accessibility needs that are best met by being remote
However we allow remote participation *and work to ensure* that students who cannot do that, or are high risk, to have an equal experience.
**Remote attendance is expected** if:
- You have cold or flu symptoms or suspect you have COVID
- You have caregiving / family obligations that affect class or your commute to class
- You have mental health concerns or any accessibility needs that are best met by being remote

# How do I participate remotely?
1. You watch the whole video for the class you are remote for. This does *not* have to be done live
2. You contribute an Ed post to every small group discussion linked to in the [class schedule]({{site.baseurl}}/schedule)
3. You fill out the remote participation survey portion of the [class participation survey](https://forms.gle/qcjc5fSNSAVeE5pK9)

# Competency Based Grading
# How is this class accessible? (3/3)
We have a set of core learning goals in this class. If you learn them all, you get an A. Competencies make up 80% of your grade.
We commit to mutually working together to make it accessible.
- DRS approval is required for some accommodations (specifically, those that are not available to the entire class)
- But many accommodations benefit most students. This is a form of *disability justice* because access to disability documentation and comfort with disclosure are both things that are inequitably distributed
--
Assignment completion is also required. This is 10% of your grade. You have up to four late days for assignment completion, and this only looks at whether you did everything, not how well you did it.
In our class, this means that Where possible, we provide those as a standard part of the class. To that end...
What is a situation you use (or could use) an accommodation in without having a (permanent) disability-related need for it?
Summarize your discussion on our [Discussion Board]({{site.discussion}}2347303)

- **Plagiarism**: No
- **Accessibility**: This course is designed to be accessible
- **Inclusivity**: An important value in this class, and in HCI!

Effort is also 10% of your grade. This includes
- Participation in discussion and exercises (self reported)
- Participation in discussion outside of class (based on submissions to Ed)

However, the biggest part of your grade is your *competencies* (80%).
We use *competency based grading* because it prioritizes *accessibility* and *justice* and *flexibility* for students.

# More detail on competencies
This approach was selected because it prioritizes *accessibility* and *justice* and *flexibility* for students.
- Competencies are the core learning goals in this class.
- If you learn them all well, your will get an A in them
- You will have multiple opportunities to show us you learned them

# Where to find what
The class is on the [web]({{site.baseurl}}/index),
but we have used iframes to connect this to
[Canvas]({{site.canvas}}). We try to interlink
everything as much as possible.
- Class discussions and all contact with instructors should happen
either in office hours or through a [class discussion board]({{site.discussion}}) or [staff mailing list]({{site.staff_email}})
- You can also request appointments for further help

# Programming Expectations
- Programming is only required the final project, which you define

- As such, there are no specific language or platform requirements
- Small programming exercises may also happen in class using languages such as JavaScript and python. Contact the instructors if you have any concerns about this.
