• Participants should refrain from profanity during class.
• Disruption to the class will not be permitted.
CLASS DISCUSSION
• Questions and comments are welcome. However, please keep questions and comments brief to ensure that all participants will have an opportunity to have their questions answered.
• If there is not sufficient time during class for you to ask questions or make comments, you may also submit those in writing. Staff will ensure that your questions and comments are provided to the appropriate department representatives.
• Recognize that some class members may have opinions that differ from your own. While open dialogue is encouraged, we ask that all class members respect others’ points of view.
