Handbook - Misc. classroom protocols

Computer Usage
Classroom computers are not to be used for personal use. Printing/copies should be limited to program business only.


Telephone Calls
Personal cell phones (including the texting function) should not be used during work hours in the classroom.


Food and beverage regulations
Consumption of food and/or beverages is prohibited in classrooms. The instructor is responsible for enforcing this regulation.


Housekeeping responsibilities
At the end of each class, each instructor is responsible for leaving the classroom in order for the next class. Desks and chairs should be in rows and the board erased. Lights and equipment, including computers, should be turned off.


Room assignments
Room assignments for individual classes are requested by the Coordinator and confirmed in the master schedule by the Central Scheduling Office. Under no circumstances should an instructor move a class from a previously assigned classroom without approval. Should a problem occur regarding room assignments, the instructor should contract the coordinator.


Cheating
It is recommended that faculty spend time early in the quarter defining and discussing what cheating and plagiarism are for the particular course. Faculty members who encounter students who cheat and/or plagiarize should follow the college policy and procedures concerning academic misconduct. See the Policy and Procedures Manual, No. 7-10 for the complete procedure.



Children in Class
Children are NOT allowed in any class. The distractions that children cause (no matter how well-behaved) make it unfair to the other students in the class.
