 * 1. All homework is done completely, carefully, and on time.**


 * 2. Reading is homework.**


 * 3. Careful reading includes note-taking. I expect you to take notes as you read so that you can thoughtfully contribute to class discussion. Include questions you have, passages you feel are important (and why), and page numbers.**


 * 4. No cheating of any kind.**


 * 5. You take advantage of the resources SJB has for you, whether they be my time, the library, or the Internet connections. If you don’t know something, find it out. Do not use ignorance as an excuse.**


 * 6. You are computer literate. You know how to attach a file to an e-mail correctly. You know how to check your e-mail regularly. You know how to check the wikispace regularly. (If you this does not apply to you, see #5.)**


 * 7. You have printer ink at home and/or understand that the printers at school sometimes jam; therefore you print out early enough to not miss the due date.**


 * 8. On time means in class when handing in an assignment or for an assignment we will go over in class. For e-mailed assignments, the deadline is 5pm (not 11:59 pm).**


 * 9. You read my e-mails and wikispace directions carefully; you listen to my instructions in class carefully. You ask questions when you are confused. “I didn’t know” is not a viable excuse.**


 * 10. You are ready to learn!**
