CLASSROOM
CONDUCT
Arrive
on time and dismiss class on time - not early or late. Never simply fail to show
up. In case of illness or
emergency, it is your responsibility (not the Vice Chair's) to find a
replacement instructor. If there
isn't time for this call, Lisa Rapp (x45502) to arrange to have your class dismissed.
It is your
responsibility that your classes are taught. You need to make arrangements in advance for a teaching
buddy to replace you. Should it
be unavoidable for you to miss one of your regularly scheduled final or midterm
exams due to illness or other emergency, find a replacement to proctor your
examination. Shorter absences when
classes are scheduled (e.g. to attend a conference for seven calendar days
or less) must be
approved by the Chair. It is your
responsibility to make arrangements for someone to cover your classes. Your replacement should normally be
another faculty member or lecturer.
In urgent or unusual circumstances you may ask your TA to take one
lecture for you; keep in mind that the TA has responsibilities as a student as well
as TA, and that you should, in return replace the TA in a Discussion. (Please review the Graduate Section
of this handbook, specifically
Teaching
Assistantships and Financial Support.) All leaves of longer than 7 days should be requested in
advance on the Leave of Absence Form accompanied by a letter of
justification. Approval by the
Dean is required.

As teachers, the professor encourages the free pursuit of learning of their
students. They hold before them
the best scholarly standards of their discipline. Professors demonstrate respect for students as individuals
and adhere to their proper roles as intellectual guides and counselors. Professors make every reasonable effort
to foster honest academic conduct and to assure that their evaluations of
students reflects each students true merit. They respect the confidential nature of the relationship
between professor and student. They
avoid any exploitation, harassment, or discriminatory treatment of
students. They acknowledge
significant academic or scholarly assistance from them. They protect their academic
freedom. (APM-015)
Each
classroom has a posted emergency exit sign. Also posted is UCI Emergency Procedures for a variety of
