Make sure to switch your mobile phones off before entering the classroom – an incoming call sound can disturb the eaching process and will not be tolerated.

While in class...

If asked by the teacher to respond, please stand up, say your name and give the answer.

Do not whisper or talk in low voice or loud while the professor or other fellow-colleague is speaking. If you have anything to say or ask, raise your hand and wait until given a chance to say what you need to say.

Failure to observe these ground rules can lead to your expulsion from the class. In such a case, your presence will be deleted from the roll call list for such a session.

If you cannot come to class, you need to make your absence known in advance by an e-mail message in order to have your request, eventually, granted by the teacher.
