DISABILITY ACCOMMODATION STATEMENT
The University of North Texas makes reasonable academic accommodation for students with disabilities.
Students seeking reasonable accommodation must first register with the Office of Disability Accommodation
(ODA) to verify their eligibility. If a disability is verified, the ODA will provide you with a reasonable
accommodation letter to be delivered to faculty to begin a private discussion regarding your specific needs in
a course. You may request reasonable accommodations at any time, however, ODA notices of reasonable
accommodation should be provided as early as possible in the semester to avoid any delay in
implementation. Note that students must obtain a new letter of reasonable accommodation for every
semester and must meet with each faculty member prior to implementation in each class. Students are
strongly encouraged to deliver letters of reasonable accommodation during faculty office hours or by
appointment. Faculty members have the authority to ask students to discuss such letters during their
designated office hours to protect the privacy of the student. For additional information see the Office of
Disability Accommodation website at http://www.unt.edu/oda. You may also contact them by phone
at 940.565.4323.
ON STUDENT BEHAVIOR IN THE CLASSROOM
Student behavior that interferes with an instructor’s ability to conduct a class or other students' opportunity
to learn is unacceptable and disruptive and will not be tolerated in any instructional forum at UNT. Students
engaging in unacceptable behavior will be directed to leave the classroom and the instructor may refer the
student to the Center for Student Rights and Responsibilities to consider whether the student's conduct
violated the Code of Student Conduct. The university's expectations for student conduct apply to all
instructional forums, including university and electronic classroom, labs, discussion groups, field trips, etc.
The Code of Student Conduct can be found at www.unt.edu/csrr
Course description/objectives: The purpose of this course is to deepen students’ knowledge
of contemporary Latin American literature from 1888 to the present. It will include the genres of
poetry, narrative and drama/film. The course is based on the art of textual analysis.
