I expect that you will: • Walk out of the class every day knowing more than you did when you walked in • Come to class on time and ready to learn • Respect the room and everyone in it • Be polite…use proper etiquette • Have fun, and tell others about what you have learned • Learn how to win arguments by listening

  10. My policy towards cutting • DON’T CUT…I will catch you. Trust me on that one.

  11. MY #1 RULE DO NOT TALK WHEN I AM TALKING Respecting this rule will make things run much smoother in here !

  12. My policy on lateness • Three lates = after school detention with me • If you have to explain to me why you are late, save it for the end of class • The most important thing to me is if you are late, don’t make things worse by talking, just get to work = )

  13. Can I take this class for college credit? • The answer is YES! • You can earn THREE college credits from Farmingdale University upon completion of the class • You must pay for the credits in advance • You must have a final exam grade of 75 or better to qualify…if not, you lose your $$$ • Payment is usually due at the beginning of October • You cannot buy credits after the deadline • Credits can transfer to all state schools, but if you are going private, start calling them now!
