3. NO CELL PHONES!*

First Offense: phone taken for remainder of period; verbal warning

*Exceptions:

There may be times in which the instructor allows students to look up research and/or reference images in class. Cell phones are allowed during those times when the instructor makes it clear that they are allowed for research purposes or for typing on Google Docs.

I also allow devices to be used in my art classes to listen to music while following these guidelines: one ear phone only to allow students to hear me, music is not heard through ear phones, student is able to remain on task while listening to music, student is only using device to listen to music (no games, texting, etc.) Devices and ear buds must be put away during assessments.
