Classroom Policies 

Please be present in class: on time, ready with all work prepared, and distractions put away. 

Participate in class. Avoid side conversations and the indulgence of your phone or social media addictions.

Be honest. Do your own work. Unless it is explicitly stated, all work is independent, “non-group” work. Reading the internet for a few ideas of what to do is unacceptable unless you then cite the sources you browsed through and demonstrated your independent thinking and work. Plagiarized or copied work will not be accepted and may result in disciplinary measures. Unless specifically directed, do NOT use AI, help sites, or group work. 

Electronic Devices: The district policy allows for the use of electronic devices, including cell phones, tablets, smart phones, and so on but only with teacher approval. Personal electronic devices will only be used with specific teacher’s permission. Any personal devices used in this class without permission will be collected and turned into the office.

Do not use generative AI (including any form of ChatGPT, similar AI system, or any LLM that creates text for you) unless specifically allowed by an assignment. Generally, speaking it's unethical how the LLM is assembled and somewhat nonsensical and flat in its output. 

I will follow the Student Handbook.
