Classroom Expectations and PoliciesASC is a class. Students are here to learn and practice necessary content and skills.
1. Be Prepared Bring all materials to class everyday (notebook, writing utensil) Complete all assignments on time Please seek additional help from the teacher during office
hours/tutorial if necessary2. Be Prompt
Arrive in class on time. You are responsible for being in class on time. You cannot learn if you
are not here. Absence and / or tardiness should not be a reason you do not succeed.

on the assignment. Do not use any electronic devices (cell phones, iPods, etc.) during
class. Any electronic devices that are out during class will be confiscated and turned in to the dean’s office.
