Attendance Policy
Podcasting is not a substitute for class attendance. All missed classes are counted against the student as absent even if the student listens to a podcast of the missed class.
Procedure
Podcast requests must be made to the professor before the class. The decision to make podcasts is solely within the discretion of the professor unless it involves an ADA accommodation. Professors should inform Information Technology/Web Specialist Brian Fodrey (x2414) as soon as possible after the podcast of the classroom, class name (and subject, if possible) to facilitate posting to the web site.
Conditions for Granting Podcast Requests
ADA - Podcasts will be available to ADA students as an approved accommodation using the same process as all other ADA accommodations. ADA podcasts will be available to ADA students only unless the professor agrees to make them available to all students enrolled in the class.
Other – Professors may make a podcast of any class for any reason. Each professor may set his or her own criteria for granting podcast requests. Professors must make podcasts available to all students under uniform criteria to avoid any appearance of discrimination or favoritism. Once made, the podcast will be available to all students enrolled in that class, unless it is an ADA accommodation.
Availability
All podcasts will be removed from the server each semester when the last exam, including make-ups, for that class has been administered.
Use and Dissemination of Podcasts
All podcasts are the property of Drake Law School and the professor, and may not be redistributed in any form to any person.
Liability
Podcasts are not an entitlement. The law school is not liable for failure to record or post a podcast to the web site.
