You may keep your phone on only if you are expecting to receive an emergency call, but in this case, please put your phone on “vibrate.” Sending/receiving text messages and surfing the ‘Net during class are not acceptable. Laptops may be used only for course-related purposes. 5. Email communication: When you email me, please use “HSS 128-01 – your last name” in the subject heading and use proper email etiquette when addressing/signing your messages.
