The only rules in this class revolve around one word:

RESPECT

Of course, this applies to everyone in the classroom. Students should respect themselves, each other, and the teacher. In turn, the teacher will respect all students. Some common actions that are considered disrespectful:

• disrupting the learning process for any student
• disrupting the class
• speaking out of turn
• being tardy to class
• leaving garbage on the floor

In addition to these actions, there are of course other disrespectful actions. I expect students to use common sense in determining what these are.

The Honor Code

Since this is an Honors Class, there are certain things that go without saying. The Honor Code is an unwritten set of rules that speaks to a students own sense of integrity. Infractions to the code are considered extremely serious, and every effort will be made to remove a student who has broken the Honors Code from the Honors track. Some of these infractions are:

• cheating on a test by giving out information
• cheating on a test by receiving information
• not reporting (to the teacher) infractions of the Honor Code

Again, breaking the Honor Code will result in serious disciplinary action.
