CLASSROOM
ENVIRONMENT:
The college's "Affirmation of Inclusion” is
posted in each classroom and sets forth the expectation that we will all treat
one another
with respect and dignity regardless of whether or
not we agree philosophically. This
expectation is in line with the principle of free
speech in a free society: we have the right to express unpopular ideas
as long as we don't show disrespect for reasonable people
who might
believe otherwise.
Part of this respect involves professional behavior
toward the instructor, colleagues, and the class itself. Disruptive behavior is disrespectful
behavior.
The Arts and Humanities Division honors the right
of its faculty to define "disruptive behavior," which often involves
such things as arriving late,
leaving
early, leaving class and then returning, talking while others are trying to
hear the instructor or their group members, doing other
homework in
class, wearing earphones in class, bringing activated beepers, alarm watches,
or cellular phones into class, inappropriate comments
or gestures, cheating during quizzes or tests,
etc. Such behavior interrupts the
educational process. When you are in
doubt about any behavior,
consult your instructor during office hours: the Division of Arts and Humanities
recognizes the judgment of the instructor as the final authority in these
matters.
When disruptive behavior occurs, instructors will
speak to the students concerned. Those
students are then responsible for ending the disruptions at once.
Failure to do so may result in removal of the
students from class.
