Classroom Learning Atmosphere
Classroom Environment:
Please read the
Arts & Humanities Division Policy:
http://bellevuecollege.edu/ArtsHum/policy.html for full details on your classroom responsibilities.
Part of your classroom
responsibilities involves professional behavior toward the instructor,
colleagues, and the class itself. Disruptive behavior is disrespectful
behavior.
When you are in doubt about any behavior,
consult your instructor during office hours: we recognize the judgment of
the instructor as the final authority in these matters.
When disruptive behavior occurs,
instructors will speak to or e-mail 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.
