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. |
