Enjoy the time I give you to talk, do not take advantage of it I did not do a good job of enforcing this last semester, I will do a better job of enforcing it this semester

Music Anyone is allowed to listen to music You may only listen to music while you are working independently I reserve the right to take away your music privileges, as a class or individually While listening to music, do not have your phone out to mess around on it, if you have to use youtube to listen to music, turn your phone over so you can’t see the screen If I can hear your music it is too loud, I will give you one warning and then you lose your privileges Do not take 10 minutes to pick a song
