The purpose of this student conduct agreement is to foster a learning environment and to pursue behavior that is acceptable in the professional workplace. This expected conduct can be described as courteous, civil, honest, and professional.

Classroom conduct is the responsibility of the individual. When needed, other class members can, and are expected to, reinforce the expected conduct by voicing their opinions.
