Alexandria Campus
The Learning Environment
The Alexandria Campus is committed to providing a positive learning
environment in which students of all ages and backgrounds can learn together
in a setting that encourages the free exchange of ideas and information.
To accomplish this goal, the members of the Alexandria Campus Council have
established the following expectations for learning.
-
All backgrounds and cultures are respected.
-
During class discussions, everyone feels welcome to participate and a free
exchange of ideas takes place.
-
All members of the class arrive on time and leave the class only on breaks
or in case of emergency.
-
Distractions are kept to a minimum. Cell phones and other electronic devices
are turned off in class, labs and library. Students remain seated throughout
the class and refrain from talking with classmates while another class
member or the instructor has the floor.
-
Each student turns in work that is his or her own.
-
Consideration is always given to other classes that are taking place in
adjoining classrooms.
-
At the end of a class, the members of the class and the instructor leave
the classroom in good condition so that the next class can begin without
disruption.
