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 (the stock market does not open until 9:30 AM so you do not need to chat with your broker and you can rest your fingers from “texting” for a bit) and also during Mini-Tests, Tests, et al – you need to ensure your communication devices are “stowed away”

■ the class starts at 8:00 AM and at 8:00 AM we shall start – I believe in your timely arrival

 

■ 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 [not blackboard] – I suggest you bookmark the web site as you shall use it often  … http://spider.georgetowncollege.edu/music/larue/scholarnet

 

■ please do not leave/throw trash on the floor – if you do so – please pick 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 MT’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

 

■ in all things – please be respectful of others – I/We want to value your thoughts and opinions – I ask you to value the opinions and thoughts of others

 

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
