These behaviors are disruptive and rude. If you are late to class, please wait in the atrium until you are asked to enter the lecture hall. If you need to leave class early, please sit in an aisle seat and exit quietly. The student is responsible for all information given during class periods including schedule changes for exams and due dates for homework and projects. Attendance is strongly advised.
Students are responsible for homework due dates regardless of technical difficulties.
Based on my own experience as a student and those of my students from previous semesters, I offer these suggestions for success in this class. Check the CIS 190 web page and your email account at least once a week. Very basic information is given in the first lectures and presentations. The student should not assume that the overall class is elementary in nature and stop attending. Read assigned chapter material prior to the class where it is discussed.
