CLASSROOM RULES AND EXPECTATIONS

All students are required to practice courteous, respectful, cooperative behavior at all times, as this would be the norm in any higher education or work environment. To avoid distractions in the classroom, students will: Arrive on time and stay until class is dismissed; Be prepared and stay on task; Leave all food, drink, candy and gum outside the classroom; Listen courteously to one speaker at a time, with no interruptions and no side conversations; Generally behave as mature adults would in the workplace.

CELL PHONE/ELECTRONIC DEVICES/FACEBOOK

Cell phones and other electronic devices, which are not related to the Instructors specified activity, are not allowed to be utilized in the classroom in any format. In order not to interrupt the class session, students are asked to place all cell phones and pagers on vibrate prior to the beginning of the class. TEXTING IS NOT ALLOWED DURING CLASS AT ANY TIME. If there is an emergency in class to where a student needs to text or make a phone call, they will be required to do so in the hall outside of the classroom. Facebook (and other social media tools) is not allowed to be accessed in the classroom. I have found that they are very disruptive in the classroom. If you need to use this media, do so outside of class. Students who do not follow the rules and expectations may be asked to leave the classroom and receive a failing grade of 0 for the current activity
