Code of Conduct

“acceptance by every Student regarding the principle of mutual respect for the rights, responsibilities, dignity, and well-being of others and a readiness to support an environment conducive to the intellectual and personal growth of all who study, work, and live within this community”

Code of Conduct

“Conduct which adversely affects the right of a member of the College Community to use and enjoy the College’s learning and working environment and facilities or that adversely affects or threatens to affect the health, safety, or rights of a member of the College Community may result in disciplinary sanctions.”


Disruptions

“Disruption or obstruction, by action, threat, written material, or by any means whatsoever, of any College activities, … preventing any person from carrying on his or her legitimate activities, whether or not it involves speaking or associating with others”

What would you consider to be a disruption in class?


Disruptions can include:

Talking and whispering when

someone else “has the floor”

Arriving late – not permitted at all in

some classes

players or cellphones

comments – raise your hand


For each of the following scenarios, identify…

- What the instructor should do, if anything - What other students might/should do- How the disruption can be avoided

1. Two students near the back of the room are chatting and it is distracting to other students

2. A student’s cell phone rings during class3. A student is on-line (on You Tube) with laptop

during class 4. A student wants to leave class 20 minutes

early
