Academic Decorum

All participants in a class are expected to behave in a manner conducive to a successful and enjoyable learning experience. Most of our students exceed our expectations in this regard. In the unlikely event that you encounter any disruptions or difficulties, please try to talk with the student about it in a discreet manner and suggest/require changes. For example, some students are so eager to participate that they unintentionally dominate class. This can frustrate the more shy students and needs to be addressed. If a student is unresponsive to your comments, or if the disruption is of a more serious nature, please contact the SCS administration (graduate coordinators, assistant dean, or associate dean of student services).
