Entering the room

Greet Dr. Corbett cordially
Go directly to your seat and take out your materials
- The default would be to open your Chromebook and go to our Google Classroom
Begin the bell work on the board
- All of your focus should be on that work; this is not social hour

Restroom

You should use the restroom between classes
You will have to use one of their limited restroom passes
Don’t even ask me to use the restroom if you don’t have an agenda in hand for me to sign
You will not be able to leave during whole-class activities (e.g. note-taking, etc.)

Getting out of your seat

There is no need to get out of your seat to throw away trash. Keep it on your desk and throw it out as you exit the classroom.
Getting out of your seat to talk to a friend is not acceptable unless permission is given. Don’t do it.
In general, you’re not going to be using pencils, so having to sharpen one shouldn’t come up often. Sharpen your pencils before class.
No one is allowed to go into the lab unless directed to do so.
- Don’t childishly grab something from someone and run back there. It will not go well for you.

Getting help

In general, your procedure for getting help will be as follows
- - Ask your seat partner
  - Ask your group
  - Ask me or another person to whom I have directed you.
Do not just yell my name out if you want help; there’s an excellent chance I’m helping someone else already. Ask me when I’m done with them and then ask. I’m going to ignore you otherwise.

Leaving class

Note Taking

When we are doing notes, I’ll try to make it as quick and concise as I can. Talking to your peers during this time ruins that objective. It is not acceptable to just start talking to people because you’ve finished writing what may be on the board. It annoys me and slows down the whole process; don’t waste everyone’s time
