                                                                         your an excuse.

materials in the classroom. In return, you should expect to be treated with respect as well. We might have
discussions where people have different opinions. It will be one of your challenges this year to learn to
respect others for their beliefs and values, although you may not agree with them.

Do not disturb the learning/teaching process of any person. When someone is talking, you can
show respect listening attentively and quietly. There will be times when you will make a presentation in
front of the class, and others will be expected to listen to you as well. In addition, when it is time to work in
class, I expect that you will be working on the assignment for this class and not for other classes. This also
means no distractions for yourself or others: cell phones or any other electronics are not allowed in the
classroom while class is in session, unless other specified. This kind of distractions will be subject for a
referral and removal of electronics.
Classroom expectations cont…

You are responsible for your own actions. You are expected to turn in your homework
and come to class on time. Be prepared and ready to learn. Also, you are expected to complete
your own work, meaning that there will be no tolerance for copying, cheating or plagiarizing
work. If these actions become an issue, you will be referred to the Dean’s office.
