Classroom Expectations
- Be on time.
- Do not gather up your things until I have dismissed class.
- Do not talk while someone else has the floor.
- Be respectful of your classmates and the instructor.
- Use your laptop for classroom purposes only.
- 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.
- Do not text during class (unless you have an emergency).
- Turn your phone off or on vibrate/silent.
- If you miss class, it is your responsibility to contact a classmate for notes.
- If you know you will miss class in advance, or you have an emergency, let me know as soon as possible via email.
- Read the assigned readings prior to coming to class so that you are ready to engage in classroom discussions.
- 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.
- Following directions for group activities during class is not optional, and failing to do so will result in a reduction of your participation grade.
- Bring your textbooks to class.
- Refrain from passing notes to your colleagues.
