How to Favorably Impress the Instructor

Harold's Classroom Policies:
1) Don't just sit there-get involved!-Ask/Answer Questions
2) Speak Loud & Clear!
3) Sit towards front & center, not in back row!
4) Cell Phones - turned OFF! please!
5) Class time is Not for personal problems or catching up
on missed work-for that use e-mail/phone/office hours
6) if you miss a class, I expect to be informed before or
soon after, and see some effort to make up missed
learning experience
7) READ the assigned text before each class!
8) Any questions, concerns?-just talk to your teacher!
