Come to class, be on time, and stay for the duration of class. Frequently showing up late to class and/or leaving early is a disruption, and a violation of the student code of conduct.

If you arrive late to class, check in with the instructor at the first appropriate opportunity. Failure to do so will result in an absence being recorded.

Review your greensheet often, students are responsible for knowing when assignments are due. If an announcement is made in class, and you are not present, you are responsible for finding out what you missed from a fellow student (make a few friends).

Always keep up with your reading, and be aware of what materials you need to bring to class.

Students are responsible for knowing what assignments have been submitted, and for keeping track of points.

Always check your e-mail for class/course schedule announcements or updates - this is recommended daily.

Be prepared to participate in discussions, and take careful notes. Note: Participation does not include simply occupying a seat, nodding, shaking one's head, or simply repeating what someone else has already contributed. Substantive contributions that foster an atmosphere of open discussion conducive to learning constitutes participation.

It is recommended that you bring your textbook(s) to class.

Students may not record lectures without permission from the instructor.

Students caught sleeping during class (which is a distraction to other students) will be woken up, and promptly asked to leave class.

There will be no e-mailing, web browsing, text messaging, or sending of pictures/video on cell phones, netbooks, or laptops during class - do it on your own time. Students caught doing so will be asked to leave class, and will not be allowed to have their respective electronic device(s) present during class for the remainder of the semester.

Cell phone calls must be taken outside of the classroom, and only under emergency circumstances.

As a matter of courtesy, please turn off or silence the sound on all electronic devices that may make noise during class.
