Classroom Etiquette & Thoughts

(some suggestions and guidelines that shall make our time together more meaningful)

■ I shall always have the chairs set up for our class session – I ask you to help me neatly stack when our time together is at an end (back of the band room – two stacks, with labels up)

■ please turn off or silence cellular or mobile communication devices (please no texting) and during Mini-Quizzes, Quizzes, Tests, et al – you need to ensure your communication devices are “stowed away”

■ the class starts at 10:00 AM and at 10:00 AM we shall start – I believe in your timely arrival

■ please ensure you have your preferred email account “linked” [if that is the right word] to your college email address as I shall oft-times send reminders, study guides, information to you – via your school address

■ I shall take attendance daily – if you are ill or have another emergency or conflict – please leave a voicemail message [8054] or email message [plarue@georgetowncollege.edu]

■ I shall work to always be fully engaged for each class session – I ask that each of you also be fully engaged (napping and slumbering are strongly discouraged)

■ my handwriting is not too good and sometimes I definitely scribble – if you cannot read something I have written upon the board PLEASE ASK (my handwriting is somewhat reminiscent of an axe-murderer’s)

■ please remember this class is entirely web-based – I suggest you bookmark the web site as you shall use it often

■ please do not leave/throw trash on the floor – if you do so – please it up at the end of the class

■ I believe in ethical behavior [as I am sure you do also] I ask that any of the electronic assignments assigned – you complete on your own – and when we have in-class MQ’s, Q’s or T’s I shall ask you to sign a version of the Georgetown College Honor Code

■ upon rare occasion [and unfortunately] I use Biblical language somewhat out of context, I apologize in advance for anytime this might happen

■ the sole reason I am here, the sole reason Georgetown College is here – is to help you develop, mature and grow intellectually, spiritually, physically and emotionally – I am totally committed to this

Thank-You
