Students wanting a formal review of their course substitution request must meet with the Course Substitution Committee DRC liaison. The DRC liaison will explain the process, documents, and forms required. The Course Substitution Committee meets once a month. Students must submit all required materials to the Disabilities Resource Center by 3 p.m. on the 1st Wednesday of every month to have their request considered during that month's meeting.
Academic Modifications. Academic modifications refer to changes in academic requirements for students with disabilities. Modifications may be appropriate in some but not all cases. Before pursuing this course of action students should give thoughtful consideration to the long-term impact modifications may have on their future academic goals.
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act [Subpart E -- Postsecondary Education §104.44 Academic Adjustments (a) Academic Requirements] requires postsecondary educational institutions to make such modifications to their academic requirements as are necessary to ensure that such requirements do not discriminate, or have the effect of discriminating, on the basis of a disability, against a qualified disabled applicant or student. Academic requirements that the institution can demonstrate are essential to the program of instruction being pursued by such student or to any directly related licensing requirement will not be regarded as discriminatory , even if they have an adverse effect on people with disabilities. Modifications may include extending the length of time established for completing degree requirements, substituting specific courses and course work as a requisite for completing degree requirements, or adapting the way specific courses are conducted.
This chapter is short and simple. It introduces the basic types of groups you'll study, the different types of data that can be collected from those groups, and the various types of studies that can be performed using that data.
The amount of data produced by research studies can be enormous. In this chapter we learn to organize and summarize raw data into frequency distribution tables, and then graph these tables as bar charts, histograms, polygons, and stem-and-leaf displays.
Another method for summarizing large data sets is to find a single value that is "typical" of the entire distribution. In this chapter I'll teach you how to find three of these "measures of central tendency": The Mean, The Media, and The Mode - and when you should use each of them.
How close to the mean are the scores in a sample or population? Are they clustered around the mean, or are they spread out over a large range? This chapter teaches us how to measure the variation among the scores within a distribution.
