1. Students are responsible for arriving in class on time and remaining in class for the entire period. Arriving late or leaving early is disruptive to the instructor and other stu­dents.

2. Students are responsible for complying with attendance requirements. Excessive absences contribute to poor stu­dent performance. If a student misses class, the student is responsible for lecture material, assignments, and hand­outs for the missed class or classes.

3. Classroom behavior should not interfere with the learn­ing process. Inappropriate behavior during class includes not being respectful of the instructor and other students by leaving one’s seat, carrying on conversation with other students, using a cell phone in class, having a pager sound, and using foul language.

4. Students should come to class prepared. They should have the required textbooks and completed assignments, be pre­pared for exams and quizzes, and be prepared for active participation in class discussions where appropriate. Failure to prepare adequately not only puts students in jeopardy in regard to successful completion of the course, but also affects the progress of the entire class.
