Class conduct agreements
The class will set its own agreements on class conduct. We will discuss this on the first day, set the agreements, and I will publish them here. Below, there are some agreements that other Seminar students have used. They are included as a way to get started. You may want to omit any, and include others.
Attack the idea not the person
Be respectful
Wait for the person to finish their thoughts before speaking
Raise you hand
Be able to agree to disagree
Be mindful of others who haven’t talked and may be trying to speak
Be aware of how much you’re speaking
Respect privacy
Don’t switch the topic instantly, allow it to flow for a bit before changing it.
