Expectations: <\/p>\n
1.\tAttendance: Be here every class. If you have to miss a class, you must have your parent\/guardian\/homestay notify the office the day that you are away, with a supporting note such as a doctor\u2019s note. It will be your responsibility to see me and make up for any missed quizzes, tests and labs on the day of your return.
\n2.\tBe On Time: Quizzes will start at the beginning of the class. I expect you to be in class on time and ready to do them, and not disturb other classmates by being late.
\n3.\tRespect: There should be only one person talking at a time. If someone (your classmate or I) is talking, please stop talking and listen. This also include using the language in a respectful way.
\n4.\tCheating & Plagiarizing: I will not tolerate any cheating and plagiarizing in this class. First offence everyone involved gets zero. Second offence everyone involved may be asked to leave the course. Please note that even in a group work, each member should not have exactly the same written work.
\n5.\tCellphone & Music Players: If you use them when I am talking or before you finish your assigned work, I will take it away until the end of the class. Same rule applies if your cellphone rings during class. Repeat offenders will have their cellphone taken away until the end of the day.
\n6.\tIf you need extra help: Make arrangement with me after class or send me an email (jeff.cw.lee@alumni.ubc.ca). Don\u2019t leave it until the day before chapter test! I will occasionally upload useful information on my website: https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/mrlee <\/p>\n
I look forward to having a great semester with all of you. <\/p>\n
