Talking in Class: Students who talk to each other in class usually do not understand (and in some cases, do not care) how disruptive it is. Talking in class-even a brief remark to a student next to you-can attract the attention of the instructor and other students and disrupt the flow of class discussion. To respect the rights of all students to an education, no talking out of turn will be permitted in class. A student who talks out of turn will be given a warning that will be noted on the roster with a "Y". On the second offense, the student will be asked to leave class for that day and the offense recorded with a "R". "Such academic misconduct is determined by the faculty member under whom it occurs." (Faculty Handbook). If the student protests or disrupts class while leaving, he/she will be reported to the Dean of Students as disruptive. On a third offense, the student will be asked to leave and will be reported to the DEan of students for disciplinary action, with instructor's request that the student be barred from the class.
Students may be expected to engage in group work during some classes. Students will show respect for varying opinions, ideas, and perspectives expressed in class discussions and class work by listening carefully and responding thoughtfully. Some time during some classes may be devoted to small group discussions of Stock Market Game or Wall Street Journal assignment or home work, or some problem or exercise given in class. These small group discussions give each student a chance to participate and have been shown to greatly enhance the learning of the material. Studying in small groups is an excellent way to prepare for the tests.
Students may also be expected to engage in group work out side the class on selected assigned Wall Street Journal assignments, or Stock market game prospectus/paper when assigned, and homework.
