Classroom Expectations

We strive to have an environment that will best support learning in he classroom.  I respect that students have different learning styles.  You will see that most of the different learning styles will be experienced in this class.  I have a few rules that I ask everyone to follow.  Repeated failure in this regard will have a significant impact on your grade and also merit a parent conference.

I expect all students to be in their desk and working on the warm-up question when the class starts.  I expect every student to come prepared with something to write with, something to write on, and their class notebook. 

Lecture / Discussion:

• Raise your hand if you want to contribute to the conversation or ask a question.
• Absolutely no gum, food, drinks in the classroom.
• Never leave your seat during lecture/discussion without permission.
• Never leave the classroom during lab.
• Any conversation that is off-topic will not be allowed.
• Any questions about grades, how I graded your work, or test dates & quiz dates are not allowed in class.  Come see me after school or send me an email to discuss this.
• Push all chairs back in under desk

In Lab:

• It is OK to be standing or moving around in working with your lab equipment.
• Treat your equipment with respect!  Guard against damaging items.
• Put all equipment back, and leave the class in better shape than you found it.
• Work with your partner only.  Do not discuss anything with other lab groups.
