Due to the creation of distractions in the training environment, the school has developed guidelines for personal electronic devices at the facility.
Using cell phones, electronic or wireless devices in the classroom is a privilege, not a right. The use of these devices in the classroom is permitted on a class-by-class basis at the discretion of the instructor. Instructors may, at their discretion, reduce points awarded for participation in class or other graded activities for the inappropriate use of personal electronic devices. Students should clarify with the instructor if they have questions about these policies.
It is important that electronic/wireless devices are used appropriately. The guidelines below are to direct the proper use of these devices in the classroom. Remember that students are in the classroom for one reason -- to learn. The use of electronic/ wireless devices during class should be restricted to in-class activities, including taking notes, viewing the lecture slides presented by the instructor, or accessing the internet for class- related information. Do not assume you can use these devices. Rather, check with the instructor.
As a student you have the right to request that a classmate cease the inappropriate use of any electronic/wireless devices. You also have the right to speak to the instructor for accommodations if you find any use of wireless/laptop devices distracting. Be aware that some students, for a variety of reasons, may have permission to use devices in class.
Don’t Distract Yourself - Avoid activities unrelated to the course.
Don’t Distract Others - Be respectful of your instructor, your classmates, and the learning environment
