Classroom Protocol

Respect your fellow students and I: Arrive on time (excessive tardiness will effect your participation grade) and do not partake in disruptive behavior. We will all be respectful of each other in both our face-to-face and online communications. If you are late, wait for an appropriate moment to enter so you do not disturb the class. If you need to leave class for any reason, please do so at a moment when there is no conversation (and please don’t get up and walk right in front of me or anyone while we’re speaking — it’s very disrespectful). Turn off cell phones or put them on silent mode during the class period. You are welcome to use your laptop or one provided by in our classroom with the caveat that it is used to enhance our discussions.
