Welcome, students!

First and foremost, I expect each and every student to "do right." This simple phrase covers a broad spectrum of rules, regulations, and academic expectations. I expect each and every student to be attentive, complete all assignments in given time, and respect themselves, the teacher, and their peers. Listed below are my 5 simple rules each student must follow to be successful in my class.

2. Be prompt, prepared, and ready to learn
