Class Expectations
Be kind. Think about the way your words and actions affect other people and remember that everyone’s fighting their own private battles. Lift each other up; don’t drag each other down.
Work hard. We do important learning here. I believe in all of you, and because of this I will never lower my expectations and let you slip. You need to rise up to meet my high expectations. Don’t ever give up.
Take risks. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, to say something controversial (as long as it’s thoughtful), or to go out of your comfort zone. Nothing great in human history—from works of art to scientific breakthroughs to social movements—has been accomplished without someone taking a risk.
Class Rules
Be courteous
If you wish to eat or drink, please extend a courtesy and ask. If you do not ask, I reserve the right to deny you sustenance
Come to class on time and be prepared.
Use appropriate classroom language and volume.
Charging your cell phones in class is fine - just ask
Respect others’ ideas, space, and belongings.
Aeries

Remember that a blank is not a missing grade. It is an un-entered grade.
