Classroom Behavior:
 

I expect you to be on time and prepared.  I expect you to remain in the classroom the entire class period, unless you notify me otherwise.  If you have a question, you should raise your hand.  Absolutely no talking to other classmates during lecture. Cell phones are prohibited in class.  Furthermore, any profanity or disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated.  If you choose not to follow these rules, disciplinary measures will be taken as per the ASU student code of conduct.  If you choose to continue the disruptive behavior, you will be academically withdrawn from the class.
