The upside: Many of my students have behaved responsibly and deserve some recognition. Therefore, I have decided to include professionalism points as a grading factor equal to 20% of your grade.
Completing homework on time can add to your professionalism points. Not completing it on time can reduce your points.
Raising your hand to answer a question can add to your professionalism points.

Shouting out an answer without raising your hand can cost you a point.
Coming in tardy can cost you a point.
Profanity can cost you a point and result in firmer consequences.
