Classroom Etiquette:

Remember, the class sessions simulate meetings and discussion among co-workers in the workplace. To respect the rights of all of us to hear what is going on and to not be distracted, please:

Arrive on time

No personal or private conversations. Good communication and listening require that only one person be speaking at a time.

Disable all audible signals from cell phones, pagers, etc. for the duration of the class session. If you need to have your phone turned on set it on stun.

Everyone should have the opportunity to participate in the discussion and ask questions.
