At the beginning of each mod as I cover my syllabus, I also go over my expectations for the students in the classroom. I discuss topics such as phone use, breaks, classroom discussions, asking and answering questions, eating, tardiness, plagiarism, email and phone communications and other items that may be distracting or inappropriate behavior. In discussing, these matters I found that some students have many questions on appropriate behavior and are not sure of themselves as it is the first time in a formal educational setting. And when they see others have questions, they realize they are not alone in their fears. I end up with a great classroom dynamic of support and respect for others. These positive behaviors sometimes correspond to their workplace success more than the technical skills I teach them.
