Watch this Space for the Ground Rules Todate!!

In the class in was discussed that for the class to have that connectiveness asap, agreement around RESPECT was necessary. The following was agreed to

• We need to acknowledge there are different cultural and relegious backgrounds in the class


• There needs to be only ONE person talking at any given time as multiple talking invades other peoples hearing space


• Show your respect by listening up to the speaker


• You must respect a classmates opinion or point of view even if its the opposite to yours


• Show your respect and do not dominate the class discussions


• This class starts at 0930am, so show your respect and be on time


• Be aware and alert in following class instructions as failure to do so often slows down classroom productivity time


• Everybody has something to say about everything and the world would be boring if we all said the samethings so therefore its important to agree to disagree


• You are encouraged to ask questions on the topic at hand


• Its important to be contactable by mobile, but show your respect and answer your mobile outside the classroom


• If you have to leave class for whatever reason, leave without disrupting the whole class and show your respect


• Show your respect by not swearing in class and if you slip up, an apology to the whole class is in order


• There are a lot of things to cover in class so its very important to stay focussed to the subject or topic at hand
