Attendance, Lateness and Classroom Behaviour
I may not keep a formal record of your attendance in class, however, frequent absences will be
noted. I am reluctant to provide help outside of regular class time to students who do not bother
to attend class. You are responsible on all tests and assignments for any material covered or
assigned in class. Do not ask me for handouts for missed lectures - photocopy a friend's.
Classes will start on time and late arrivals must not disturb the class. Enter quietly and take a
seat. Do not disturb the class by asking questions about what took place before your arrival.
Students who are late for class on a regular basis may not be admitted.
Please keep in mind that your fellow classmates are here to receive an education. Please do not
carry on conversations or indulge in disruptive behaviour while lessons are in progress. If you
have something relevant to add to what I am saying, please feel free to raise your hand and be
recognized. Helpful comments and questions are always welcome.
While perfect silence is not expected during lectures, basic courtesy is. Students are hereby
granted permission to tell others who are talking/making noise to "be quiet".
Understanding the lectures is your responsibility. If you do not stop me and ask for
clarification when you do not understand something I've said, or stop me if I've covered a topic
too quickly for your satisfaction, then the blame for your lack of comprehension is yours. Staring
at me blankly and nodding your head will only encourage me to carry on, more quickly.
