Take note of it, and make sure to get any of the notes/handouts for that activity.
LEAVING CLASS
Guidelines for leaving class. If you need to leave class FOR ANY REASON, you need to sign out and take the pass. NO EXCEPTIONS. If you need to use the restroom, you can take the pass and go. If you need to go to your locker, the office, or anywhere else, you need to ask first.
You’re lecturing, but I really can’t wait. If you really need to use the restroom during lecture, you can just go. Walk around the back of the classroom, sign out, and take the pass. When you return, walk in quietly and settle back in. Do NOT disrupt the class.
