Your instructor for this course is charged with the responsibility of maintaining an appropriate classroom environment which is both pleasant and conducive to learning. Behavior which detracts from the educational environment is detrimental to the learning experience of all students and has no place in the college classroom. The following guidelines are intended to provide for a more efficient class where all students feel welcome and have an equal opportunity to succeed. Your cooperation in this effort will be greatly appreciated. Arrive on time.
Late entrances distract others and disrupt the class.
While no one is expected to be perfect, tardiness to class should be the exception, not the rule. Once class has begun, do not leave the classroom for any reason other than real emergencies. Be sensitive and considerate to other cultures. Do not carry on a conversation with another student while your instructor is calling roll, explaining an assignment, or presenting a lecture. Class time is for this course.
