These basics of classroom etiquette are an important means of building and showing mutual respect. Inevitably, however, disagreements will arise. Sometimes these disagreements will be about content, sometimes about grades or course procedures, and sometimes they will be about the treatment of participants in the class. If you are bothered by some aspect of the class, identify what it is that is bothering you and center the discussion on that issue. Address issues that concern you early.
Problems are easier to resolve before they fester.
Consider whether it is best to address your concerns in class or in a separate appointment with the instructor. Remember, behavior that disrupts your fellow classmates is not acceptable. Abusive speech or behavior will not be tolerated in any interaction between students or between student and instructor. If an instructor feels that your speech or behavior is abusive, you will be asked to leave the room. If you believe an instructor has become abusive, you may leave the room and talk with the department chairperson.
