What not to do in a classroom or laboratory

Here is a list of specific things not to do in a classroom or a laboratory. Consider this an additional list to the list already posted in a classroom or laboratory, or specified in the contract that you sign at the beginning of a class.

• no food nor drink in the classroom, with the exception of plain water in a classroom without computers;
• absolutely no food nor drink (including plain water) in the lab or any classroom with computers for students;
• no phone conversation (this includes CB radio and other communication devices);
• no phone or pager ringing;
• no disruptive behavior.

I normally upload most (if not all) of my classnotes to my website at www.drtak.org/teaches/ARC. You are welcome to check and view my classnotes. However, all the classnotes are copyrighted, which means you cannot redistribute the materials in any form unless you have my consent.

I understand most people do not have 24-hour internet access. You are allowed to download the HTML and PDF files on your computer for your own use only. You can even print these files out for easier off-line viewing. However, please do not print the classnotes at the printers in room 152. The first reason is that I change my classnotes frequently, what you have printed may be obsolete already. Secondly, printing classnotes can overwhelm the technicians.

You are strongly recommended to print the classnotes using your own printer or at a lab where there is pay-per-print. I understand this is inconvenient and possibly costly. If you think this situation (not being able to print classnotes at room 152) is unacceptable, please contact my dean (boss), Barbara Blanchard at the CIT Area Office. I am more than happy to look into and implement solutions, but I need administrative support first.
