Classroom Behavior
Hello I am Susan Murray and I am the course coordinator for Gerontological Nursing, which you will take during your sophomore year. I will also work with you in various clinical and laboratory settings throughout your tenure in the program.
Classroom Conduct
The faculty of the SON believe that adult learning is a shared undertaking wherein the faculty are facilitators and the learners active participants in knowledge development. It is important the appropriate classroom conduct be maintained to develop an optimal environment in which all students can learn. At the SON we adhere to the University Classroom conduct policy. This policy was developed by the University Office of Student Judicial Affairs, and is availabe online on their page. At the beginning of every lecture course your faculty will review this policy with you.
All students are required to follow these guidelines and extend courtesy to fellow classmates and faculty. You are expected to arrive on time to lecture, and stay throughout the entire lecture. If you need to leave during the lecture you are to do so with minimal interruption of the lecturer or other students.
Electronic devices such as cell phones and pagers are to be turned off or placed in "vibration" mode. No use of these devices is allowed during lecture.
Laptop computers may be used during lectures to follow lecture outline and to take notes. Students are not allowed to use IM chats or search the internet during lecture.
Permission to record lectures must be pre approved by the course faculty.
Conversation between students should be limited, as side conversations will be distracting to faculty and other students.
