CLASS PROTOCOL for MICHELLE O.’S MONDAY and WEDNESDAY SECTIONS

 

Attendance and class participation for every class is mandatory.  Specific students have been given case assignments each week.  These cases are due to be briefed and discussed in class.  Students may coordinate amongst themselves on these case briefing assignments, however the students who received the case assignment and are absent or unprepared will be docked ½ letter grade off their final course grade as a penalty, no exceptions.

 

Each lecture class will include a PowerPoint slide presentation and other digital materials designed to emphasize key points.  The slides will be made available to students in digital form and students are encouraged to follow along with them during the lecture and to revisit them in their individual study groups.

 

Monday students who miss a lecture class may attend the Wednesday class as a make-up and Wednesday students who anticipate missing class may attend the Monday class as an advance.    Guest BSoL students and instructors are welcome in our sections.

 

On a situation by situation basis, a student may be given permission to participate in class by teleconference or by webcam.  The student who receives such permission must coordinate the technology themselves and the arrangements must not disrupt the other students.  Example emergencies would be:  a local weather event such as a tornado; hospitalization/recovery; travel for work or with your family; car trouble on the way to school or a documented highly contagious disease.

 

Students are free to move about during class and to engage in whatever activities support their alertness so long as they are not disruptive to other students.  Example disruptive activities would be smelly food, noisy food, reeking of alcohol, side conversations (written, verbal or electronic) and doing things on your computer that everyone around you wants to see.
