Expectations (General, more specific posted in class):
Hall passes: You are given 2 passes a semester and its use is at my discretion. You should visit the restroom prior to or after class.
Homework: Given about 2 times a week and should be done before class- not during. Failure to do homework will require that you attend tutoring (MTF 250-330) to receive partial credit.
Seating: There is a seating chart posted on the communication board for reference.
Raising Hand: I want hands raised for questions- shouting out makes it impossible to communicate.
