| Classroom
Etiquette
The
Kellogg Code of Classroom Etiquette has been established
to assist student and faculty alike to foster appreciation
for a classroom environment that enhances the learning
experience for all students. Attention to the code will
add value to the course by creating a more meaningful and
constructive discussion.
Students,
therefore, are expected to demonstrate classroom etiquette
based on the following principles:
I.
Attendance:
i.
Students are expected to attend every class throughout
the term. When unable to attend, the student should notify
the professor in advance.
ii.
Attendance is compulsory at the first class session. Failure
to attend will result in your exclusion from the class
if a waiting list exists. Wait listed students are eligible
only if they attend the first class session.
II.
Punctuality
Students
are expected to arrive for class on time so that the
professor may start and end the class according to schedule.
Students more than five minutes late are subject to guidelines
established by a class vote during the first session.
III.
Exiting and Entering
Students
are expected to remain in the classroom for the duration
of the class. If a student must depart early due to unavoidable
circumstances, the student should inform the instructor
before class. Leaving and re-entering the class is not
permitted except in the event of an emergency.
V.
Disruptive Behavior
Students
should demonstrate respect for the professor and fellow
students during the class period. Students, therefore,
should refrain from distracting behavior such as disruptive
eating, using laptops to surf the Web or check e-mail
and holding side conversations.
VI.
Respect the Facilities
Students
are expected to help maintain the appearance of the classroom.
After class students should discard all trash.
In
essence, the Code emphasizes respectful behavior in the
classroom that contributes to the enhancement of the learning
experience at Kellogg.
In
addition, review the course syllabus for each professor's
specific class policies.
