Stanford University and its instructors are committed to ensuring that all courses are financially accessible to all students. If you are an undergraduate who needs assistance with the cost of course textbooks, supplies, materials and/or fees, you are welcome to approach the course staff directly.
If you would prefer not to approach the course staff directly, the Diversity and First Generation Office’s Opportunity Fund is designed to financially assist undergraduate students who are experiencing a temporary financial challenge from a hardship or who are seeking funds for an opportunity related to their academic, professional, and/or social development. Go to https://diversityandfirstgen.stanford.edu/ resources. The Diversity and First-Gen Office is available to connect you with resources and support while ensuring your privacy.
The COVID-19 pandemic is a stressful time for us all. In addition, you may experience a range of other
challenges that can cause barriers to learning, such as strained relationships, increased anxiety,
alcohol/drug problems, feeling down, difficulty concentrating and/or lack of motivation. These mental health
concerns or stressful events may lead to diminished academic performance or reduce your ability to participate
in daily life. Stanford is committed to advancing the mental health and well-being of its students. If you or
someone you know is feeling overwhelmed, depressed, and/or in need of support, services are available. You can
learn more about the broad range of confidential mental health services available on campus here:

Students who may need an academic accommodation based on the impact of a disability must initiate the request with the Office of Accessible Education (OAE). Professional staff will evaluate the request with required documentation, recommend reasonable accommodations, and prepare an Accommodation Letter for faculty dated in the current quarter in which the request is being made. Students should contact the OAE as soon as possible since timely notice is needed to coordinate accommodations. The OAE has contact information on their web page: http://oae.stanford.edu
As part of our ongoing efforts to make this course an even better experience for students, our teaching team continually conducts research to improve our teaching methods. In this course, new teaching methods may be used and various aspects of student performance may be analyzed on an ongoing basis. Information about you and your personal performance in this course will be held strictly confidential, but aggregate information for the whole class may be reported. If you would like to opt out of participating in any new teaching methods or having your performance analyzed as part of this research, you may do so without penalty. For more information, please contact the instructors.
