Other Issues:
Activity for Establishing Class Behavior Rules:
Give students a very short list of rules and discuss it the
first night of class. A shorter list is better, as most people
tend to not remember long lists. Long lists of rules tend to
reflect control issues within the faculty member, and this type
of behavior often causes more trouble than it prevents.
There are also a greater number of students who have mild to
severe emotional disruptions taking place in their lives and
some of these overflow in the classroom setting.
The WKUPD has a “Crime Prevention Program,” that
is more than willing to advise faculty groups, how best to deal
with anything from “Disruptive Individuals” in the
classroom, to “Bomb Threats” that interrupt the
teaching and learning environment. Classes can be arranged at
the convenience of faculty, by contacting WKUPD at 745-2548,
and asking for Police Officer Joe Harbaugh.
