Classroom Expectations


 

  1. Be on time.
  2. Do not gather up your things until I have dismissed class.
  3. Do not talk while someone else has the floor. 
  4. Be respectful of your classmates and the instructor.
  5. Use your laptop for classroom purposes only.
  6. If you do have a laptop, I prefer you sit in the back row, so you do not disturb those behind you. If you have a compelling reason not to, please discuss this with me.
  7. Do not text during class (unless you have an emergency).
  8. Turn your phone off or on vibrate/silent. 
  9. If you miss class, it is your responsibility to contact a classmate for notes.
  10. If you know you will miss class in advance, or you have an emergency, let me know as soon as possible via email.
  11. Read the assigned readings prior to coming to class so that you are ready to engage in classroom discussions. 
  12. If you have a cell phone that can receive text messages, sign up for my class cancellation alerts and the official UU campus alerts.  This could save you driving to campus. I will send an email out as well, but this is the best way to get instant alerts.
  13. Following directions for group activities during class is not optional, and failing to do so will result in a reduction of your participation grade.
  14. Bring your textbooks to class. 
  15. Refrain from passing notes to your colleagues.
