It is my expectation that seniors come to my class on time, daily, and prepared with all school supplies and assignments.  Students are expected to *NOT* be on their phones during class.  Students who insist on being on the phone (or sleeping or talking) will not receive credit for the day.  The easiest route to success in my class is active class participation -- even if that participation consists simply of following the class discussion and taking notes.  The easiest route to failure in my class is to not receive your daily credit due to the violations mentioned above.
