If you come to class, complete all of your work, and turn it all in, you will pass the class
The only way to fail the class is to not complete all of your work or not turn in your work
If you turn in all of your work (with effort), and study for tests/quizzes, you will most likely make an A or B

If you can’t handle voice levels above 0, we will always be at voice level 0. 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

9. 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
