time: The only mobile electronic devices acceptable in this class are laptops or tablets, which are to be used only for note taking. All other devices should be powered off and out of sight - absolutely no texting in class. Side conversations make it difficult for both learning and teaching to occur. While questions and discussion are valuable to learning for all students, try to keep these focused on the class topic and applicable to all students. Other questions are welcomed in office hours. Classroom expectations include: Participating in class activities Respecting the diversity of cultures, opinions, viewpoints in the classroom Listening to fellow students and professor Arriving on time, prepared for class; attending for the duration of class Not reading other materials, books, newspapers, or using laptops for other activities Respectful communication; racist, homophobic, sexist, and other disrespectful comments will not be tolerated.
