Your responsibilities
As a student in my course, you are responsible for conducting yourself in a manner that supports a positive learning environment for you and your classmates. My expectations are below; please read and follow them.
.
Classroom Behaviour
Please arrive on time. If you are late, enter quietly and minimize disruptions.
Please be considerate: Only one person speaks at any one time. Unsolicited comments and side conversations impair the hearing and learning of others. If you insist on commenting or having side conversations during a class you will be asked to leave.
Disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated. Every student expects the learning environment to support their learning activities. Standards of good behaviour and civility are expected and encouraged.

Personal computer and devices
In first-year courses:
You are not permitted to use your own personal computer (e.g. a laptop) in classes, unless notified by the professor in writing.
In second-, third-, and fourth-year courses:
You are permitted to use your own personal computer (e.g. a laptop) in classes, to support your learning experience. If there is an online test, your professor will announce (before the test date) whether you can use your own personal computer.
Playing computer-based games, or engaging in other computer usage activity that is distracting and disruptive is not permitted. You may be asked to leave the class session. In this situation, if you do not comply, I will terminate the class session and leave the room. (Please note that the missed topic coverage will not be delivered, but you and your classmates will still be responsible for mastering the content in a test, lab, or assignment situation.)
Turn off devices that emit audible sounds.
