Class Procedures 1. Keep your notebook organized and up to date. (notes and assigments) 2. Focus during class discussion, take notes, and bring questions to each class. 3. Class time is an opportunity to seek further explanations on homework problems or topics you don t understand Attendance Tardiness: Students are expected to arrive on time for class.
