GUIDELINES FOR A SUCCESSFUL CLASS

1. COME TO CLASS ON TIME. COME TO CLASS PREPARED.

Always walk in quietly. Take your seat and remain seated. Bring items necessary for class and

have them ready. Study and do your homework. Assignments are due when they’re due!

2. FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS.

Listen for instructions and follow them carefully.

3. GET PERMISSION TO SPEAK OR LEAVE YOUR SEAT.

Talking or strolling around the room distracts everyone. Raise your hand and wait for me to call

on you. Restroom and drinking fountain privileges are reserved for emergencies only.

4. TREAT EVERYONE WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT.

Every person or group has a right to be here. Do not go through someone's belongings or take

something that does not belong to you. Physical violence is unacceptable. Verbal abuse is

inappropriate. Do not insult or interrupt others. Avoid profane, obscene, or demeaning

language. Nothing less than complete honesty will be tolerated in academics and other

classroom affairs.

5. GUM, CANDY, FOOD, BEVERAGES, COUGH DROPS, MEDICATION, GADGETS,

TOYS, GAMES, RUBBER BANDS, AROMATIC SPRAYS, LOTIONS, CALCULATOR GAMES,

CD PLAYERS, ETC. ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN.

Anything not on the list falls under the category "etc." Speaking with a wad of gum in your

mouth is difficult. Hearing directions while listening to a Discman is impossible. Returning

students: take to heart the words “calculator games.” We need to focus on language learning at

all times.
