Rules for Classroom Conduct and Behavior

It is important that students are respectful towards instructors and fellow classmates, and that their behaviors not interfere with nor disrupt class activities. Therefore, students are expected to adhere to the following rules when attending Marketing and other CBA classes:

  1. Plan to arrive to class on time and to stay for the entire class period (or until dismissed) because random arrivals and exits are disrespectful and distracting.
  2. All cell phones and other electronic devices (e.g., pagers, palm pilots) must be turned off (or on vibrate) and hidden from view. [Consult your instructor as some prefer that cell phones are “off” and others allow that phones are set on “vibrate”. ]
  3. Laptop computers are allowed for (quiet) note taking only: i.e., other activities such as checking personal e-mail or browsing the Internet are prohibited.
  4. Food and beverages are NOT permitted in CBA classrooms. Those must be consumed in designated areas only.
  5. Students are responsible for what transpired if they miss a class. It is the student’s responsibility to contact a classmate to determine what was missed. [Note: Instructors may have their own set of rules regarding attendance. “Excused absences” are specified in the University "Excused Absences Policy Statement" (e.g., hospitalization, death of an immediate family member).]
  6. Talking and other disruptive behaviors are not permitted while classes are in session.
  7. Students are expected to do original work for all assignments, including exams. Students are responsible for their own conduct and all cases of dishonesty (e.g., plagiarism, cheating) will be reported to the proper university officials.
  8. It is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor of record in advance of a need for accommodation of a disability that has been verified by the University.
  9. Students should address faculty as "Professor" or "Dr." Calling faculty by their first names is not appropriate.

Note: Individual instructors may have additional requests regarding classroom behavior. Please adhere to those as well.
