Class Rules:

• Everyone needs to have the books.  You will have one week from your first day in class to get them.

• You are responsible for bringing your books, as well as pencils or pens, highlighters, paper or notebook, and a binder or folder to class every day. I can’t make many copies, so if I ask you to bring a handout back the next day, please do it!!

• If you are going to be absent for several days or have to stop coming to class, please tell or email Denise.

• If you miss a class, it is your responsibility to find out what you missed.  Extra copies will be in the file box

• Turn off your cell phone ringer in class.  If you must have your phone on, turn it to vibrate.  If you must talk on the phone, go outside of the classroom.
