Expected Classroom Etiquette

It is assumed that everyone in the room (live and virtual) are there to share in the learning that is happening. Therefore major underlying concept is kindness to your fellow classmates and professor. Don't do things that would be a distraction for others. If others are paying attention to what you are doing instead of the learning that is happening, then stop doing it.

Acceptable behavior

• Using an electronic device to directly to aid in your learning
• Using an electronic device in a non-distracting way for you and others for other things to keep yourself somewhat engaged in the class
• Quietly whispering to your neighbor about what is being discussed to aid in clarification.
• Leaving the room (quietly) to deal with an emergency
• Eating is acceptable as long as it is not too noisy and does not give off a smell that either makes everyone else hungry because it smells to good or people lose their appetite because of the smell.
• If you struggle to stay awake, don't snore
• If you believe you need to do some things that might be distracting to others to stay engage, please sit in the back of the room

Distracting behavior (which should be avoided)

• Having audio from an electronic device (in almost all circumstances)
• Arriving late and not just slipping in.
• Interrupting class with a question/statement that is not on topic and can wait until the end of class (such as "I did not do the quiz" in the middle of the class). Wait until the end of the class esp. if it just concerns you and will not be handled at that moment
