You just need to utilize your time properly.

2. You will have time during class to work on your assignments.

The Class rules: The 15 Commandments

1. No hitting another person – Keep your hands and feet to yourself

2. No yelling in class

3. No cursing in class

4. No racist or sexist statements made in class – No slurs or jokes – NOT FUNNY! If you say the "N" word that depicts people of African American origins you will be lose your lunch period! 

5. No taking other people’s belongings. I will notify the police. 

6. No eating in class, unless you have enough for the whole class.

7. Do not interrupt, raise your hand or wait your turn. During discussion, respect other students' comments, opinions and ideas. When possible, make statements like, "I agree with Jose, and I also feel that....." or "I disagree with Sara. She made a good point but I feel....."

8. Ask permission to leave the class – Ask permission to use the restroom. We have a pass; make sure you take the pass with you at all times. Otherwise, you will lose your bathroom privileges for a month. If you send longer than 10 minutes going to the bathroom you will lose your bath privileges for a month. 

9. Be a good citizen – Be polite say, Thank you or Your Welcome. If you win do not brag and if you lose do not get angry. 

10. Don’t sit on the tables and do not lean back on the chairs. I would like your brains to stay inside your head. 

11. If you move something or take anything out put it away.

12. Do not eat by my computers - No CD's never-ever place a CD in my CD drive. If you do I own your CD. The second time you place a CD in my drive you will be sent out. Do not ever move a mouse or change anything on the computers. If you do your OUT!  

13. Each chair and table has a bootie for floor protection. You must make sure that each seat bootie is on when you leave. 

14. Now as many of you know the dress code has changed. Please save me the time and energy. Please follow the dress code so I do not have to send you to the office. PLEASE. No hats in class.

15.  No head sets in your ears when I am giving a lecture. No phones out, EVER. No texting. If you take your phone out I will take the phone away from you for a WEEK! 

16. Surprise others by performing random acts of kindness. Go out of your way to do something surprisingly kind and generous for someone at least once a month. 

Items for Class:

1. You will need a binder or a notebook for your weekly notes. If you do not bring your binder or notebook each day for class you will have detention. 

2. We have a warm up exercise each day in the beginning of the class. This will be counted as 20% of your overall grade. This will occur the first 10 minutes of each class. Therefore, if you are late for class you will lose your participation warm up exercise points. 

3. You must bring a pencil or pen each day. If you come without a pen or pencil you will have detention.
