Classroom Expectations 1.
Be Prompt.
Bluebook rules will be followed on the tardy policy. Please, do not linger at the door during
class changes. It causes congestion. 2.
Go to the bathroom and/or get water between classes to avoid missing
class time. Frequent visits/abuse of the restroom policy can result in a
limited number of allowable visits. 3.
Please, raise your hand to speak. This keeps the class more tolerable
for everyone. 4.
Notebooks are important. You need to keep track of all of your lecture
notes, returned labs, homework, etc. 5.
Please keep all book bags under the tables and not in the aisles. This prevents accidents. 6.
YOU are
responsible for all make up work, including notes, labs, quizzes and tests. 7.
Homework is due on the DUE
date. It will not be accepted late, as we go over homework in class most of
the time. The assignment board is complete every Monday with the homework,
etc. for the week. YOU are responsible for getting
your assignment off of the board daily! 8.
Come to class prepared DAILY! (pens, paper,
etc.) 9.
If you need assistance outside of class, I will happily assist
you. Please give me advance notice. 10. Be respectful of my
things, the other student’s things and the classroom materials and I will
respect your things as well. My desk
is off-limits. 11. The grading policy is
posted. Keep up with your grades, as I only do averages at grading periods. 12.
Consequences for problems: warning, parent contact and/or office
referral. 13.
Bottles with caps can be kept in your book bags. 14. Work hard and you’ll
earn the grade you deserve. I do not
pass or fail anyone. Each individual
determines their own grade by their effort and performance. |
