that is pertinent, raise your hand and wait to be called upon. Respect your
fellow classmates and yourself by not carrying on side conversations. Disruptions and inappropriate behavior will
be dealt with in accordance with the student handbook.

present the work will be forfeited and you will receive a zero for that item.
