What are the expectations of me in this class?
Attitude, respect and effort are most important!
 Respect yourself, Mrs. Fabritius, your peers and the classroom equipment at all times!
 Participate and show effort!
 Come to class! Be on time and ready to learn. Attendance is very important as this is an
interactive, hands on class
 Keep an organized notebook of all Marketing Materials
 If absent, check the board for what happened and ASK for missing work. It is YOUR
responsibility to take care of this. Inform Mrs. Fabritius of planned absences and arrange for
work. Late and missing work is generally not accepted except in special circumstances
 Absolutely NO CELL phones in class or they will be taken away and turned into the office.
Earphones are ok during individual work time but NOT during instruction
 Stay focused on Marketing. Don’t bring work from other classes and expect to do it during
this class
 Do your own work. Plagiarism and Cheating will result in zero grades and Academic Integrity
Forms filed with the office (see the student handbook for the specifics of this policy)
