You should conduct yourself as a professional and project an image of being intelligent, competent, helpful to fellow students, and prepared for class on a consistent basis. People need to be able to trust your ability to complete a job on time, under budget, and way above the minimum standards. One obvious indication of your ability to conduct yourself as a professional is your class participation. Behaviors such as talking in class reading the newspaper, staring out the window, etc. are examples of clearly inappropriate behaviors. Do NOT talk in class. No computers, cellphones, etc. are permitted in class.
