Be prepared to ask questions in class. Exercises and quizzes over assigned material will be given. If you must miss a class for illness, or an appointment, contact the instructor in advance about the possibility of rescheduling a quiz or assignment. You should also have the phone number of 2-3 other students in the class that you can call to get class notes, announcements or assignments if you must miss class. Be in class on time.
Late students disrupt the class.
Getting up and leaving in the middle of class is rude. Talking to other students in the classroom distracts both the instructor and your fellow students. Finally, if you prefer to sleep or read newspapers, do not come to class. According to CPT educational policy, no independent study course can be substituted for this course. It is common for students with no programming background to feel lost during the first 4-5 weeks of the course, even if they are receiving passing scores.
