Student Writing
Your work will be used for educational purposes during the current semester. For example, you may be asked to share your work with a peer, the class, or with me during classroom activities or for homework. Your work may also be used in program assessment. Your registration and continued enrollment constitute your permission.
Your work may also be used in subsequent semesters for educational purposes. Before using your work, I will either get your written permission or render the work anonymous.

They’re prepared to work one-on-one with you at any stage of your process and with any kind of writing you’re attempting while attending SU.

Orange SUccess
This class will participate in Orange SUccess, which promotes student success through coordination and communication among students, instructors, advisors, and campus support service departments. If I observe that you are experiencing difficulties in the course (attendance concerns, low test scores or participation, in danger of failing, etc.), I may send an email to your syr.edu email account through the Orange SUccess system. My message will tell you about my concerns and ask you to meet with me or an academic advisor. Your advisor, TA, and/or I will work with you to create success strategies to address any difficulties you are having. In addition, if I observe that you are doing well in my course, you may also receive “kudos” from me acknowledging your efforts.
Orange SUccess may involve taking advantage of various campus support services, such as academic tutoring or advising. If I recommend that you use campus support services, I or your advisor will redirect you to that support office so they will be better prepared to assist you. Orange SUccess provides essential notices by email and/or text. Please check your syr.edu account frequently and respond quickly if you receive an email from Orange SUccess.
