What is expected of me?
 Always be respectful—of the teacher, of visitors, of others.
 Be Prepared—come to class with paper and pencil for notes, if
necessary.
 Be Responsible—You are in charge of yourself. If you are sitting
next to someone who will distract you, please ask for me to move
you.
 Live up to what I know you are capable of. Remember, you are
what you repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but
a habit.
Make Excellence a Habit in my class and in your life.
