Drama 2307 Agreement

Read preview and be sure you understand these terms before signing.

Presence in the class is verified by the pink roll. Not signing the pink roll means you are not in class, regardless of how many witnesses you can produce. Reading, sleeping, or eating in class will result in the student receiving an absence for the day, as will being more than fifteen minutes late.

Plagiarism is the representation of another person's work as one's own.

Plagiarism in this class will result in an F on the paper as well as an F in the entire course.

There are three allowable absences in this class. You do not need any excuse for those three absences. However, the 4^th absence, will result in a drop in the grade of one letter. Medical excuses will be sympathized with, but you have three absences, so you should save them for medical problems.

The use of cell phones, either to make or receive calls, is not allowed in this class. If you have an emergency, you can leave the vibrating ring on and when the call comes, you can quietly leave class to answer the call and then return; you do not need an explanation or excuse to do this. But if the cell phone goes off in class, you must leave at that point and be counted absent for that day.

Service classes require six and twenty hours of outside work, respectively, for the ten and eleven o'clock classes. You may not engage in work that is dangerous in any way, or that creates a problem on a physical or an emotional level. If you have any questions, ask the instructor. Problems may be subjective; that is, a problem for you may not seem like a problem to your group, but if it is a problem to YOU, then don't feel that you have to "overcome" it to pass this course.

Working with the community requires a certain level of dignity and respect. If you have a problem with the religion, gender, or anything else of your community contact, this is the wrong project for you to be doing. I'm not judging your attitude, but you have to tell me so I can place you in a group that allows you the greatest chance of making a good grade in the class and of doing work that is satisfying to both you and to the community contact.

You are representing University of Houston in the workplace. YOU are the ambassador of our school in that sense, and people will judge the entire university by your behavior. When you graduate, the value of your degree, as well as its marketability, will depend directly on how the community views University of Houston.

I understand the above and agree to the conditions of this class:
