CELL PHONES:

DO NOT use your cell phone while you are in class. Turn your cell phone off when you arrive to class. If your phone rings while you are in class, please turn it off as quickly as possible (don't answer it!). If you are caught text messaging or talking on the phone you will be asked to leave the classroom for the duration of the lecture. 

 

CHEATING:

If you are caught cheating or if you are suspected of cheating you will be reported to the Dean. During tests, you should avoid any suspicious behavior. This means absolutely no talking, eyes on your test at all times, no sharing erasers or calculators etc.      

 

FALLING BEHIND:

If for any reason you miss class, it is imperative that you do not fall behind. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to make up any missed material, whether you have a valid reason for missing class or not. You should get the class notes from a fellow student and then you should attempt to learn the missed material. This includes reading the notes and attempting related homework exercises. Once you have done these two things, if you are still having trouble understanding the material you should come to my office hours where we can work together. Do not come to office hours however, expecting me to reteach the lecture that you missed.
