Additional Information
\ Conduct
\- \
- \ The main thing to remember is to respect each other. \
- \ Cell phones are to be silenced during class. Texting, gaming, taking non-emergency calls, and etc is not permitted. Students who choose not to follow this rule will have the option of surrendering their phone to me for the class or leaving the class for the day. \
- \ It is permissable to bring in food or drinks into the class room. No food or drinks are allowed in the labs or computer labs. If a student does not pick up and properly dispose of food wrappers, cans, and bottles, then the food and drink privilege will be revoked for all students. \
- \ No smoking in the building. There is an area north of the class room that you may smoke during breaks. Use the ash trays and do not throw butts or trash on the grounds or parking lot. \
- \ No chewing tobacco, dip, snuff, sunflower seeds, or anything else that requires a spit cup. \
- \ During class lecture I encourage open discussion; however, when a student asks a direct question to me, I need everyone else to be quite and let me respond. After I have answered the question, anyone wanting to add to or question the answer is welcome to jump in. This fair to all students and will prevent confusion as to what is the proper answer. \
- \ Please be considerate of other classes going on in the building and keep your voices down when you are in the hallways during break. \
- \ Anyone that causes a disruption will be asked to leave the class. \
- \ Bring text book and tools to class every session. \
- \ Infractions of any of the above will result in grade reduction for the day and/or disciplanary action. \
