Classroom Etiquette Fill in seats from the front of the class. Leave the seats at the rear of the classroom vacant. Avoid classroom disruptions such as chatter, ringing cell phones, radios, late arrival, early departure, etc. NOTE: It is extremely rude to leave class during lecture. If you have a situation that requires an early departure, discuss it with me before class begins. Students that depart from class during lecture without instructor consent will be counted absent.
Classroom Etiquette 2 Bring materials (pencil, paper, etc.) to record lecture notes. Do not read newspapers, work on assignments from other classes or sleep during this class. Our class time is used exclusively for our class. Class lasts 50 minutes or until you are dismissed. Do not disrupt lecture by prematurely preparing to depart before class has ended. Breaches of classroom etiquette are considered disruptive to the operation of the course.
