Active classroom participation is expected. In some cases, students will make presentations to the rest of the class. Student conduct is important in this and every class. Your behavior reflects on your ability to find a job and to be recommended for a job by those you come in contact with during your tenure at the University of Nevada, Reno, and beyond. In class, you will be graded according to your conduct and participation.
Participation includes attending class and contributing to a positive learning environment.
If a student s conduct disrupts this positive environment, this conduct will translate into a loss of points. Keeping the points earned on assignments is basically a no-brainer for most people behave yourself, attend class, and take advantage of your situation here to learn the concepts covered in this class. Students may be asked to answer questions about reading assignments or topics covered in class. It is a matter of success to you, courtesy to your colleagues, and safety to the public that you learn the concepts of this and the other courses in the curriculum properly before you enter an engineering career. It is crucial that you arrive prepared and that you enter into class discussions.
