 * ===COURSE EXPECTATIONS ===
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">__All SCHOOL RULES ARE IN EFFECT AT ALL TIMES!__
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">HOMEWORK
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">All homework is due at the start of the class. If it is not out when it is time to be checked, it will be late—this includes work that is left in the locker.
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Late assignments will lose points for every day (not class!) that they are not turned in.
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">If you are absent when an assignment is due, you must have it during the next class that you are present.
 * If you are absent when an assignment is given, you have as many classes missed to complete the work. If you are absent for an extended period of time, please contact us to set up a make-up schedule. The best thing to do is to plan ahead—check the class wiki and come prepared!
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">PARTICIPATION
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">You are expected to participate during every class, as you will receive a quarterly participation grade.
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">All participation must be appropriate, respectful, and relevant to the matter at hand.
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">In order to participate, you must be present—this means being on time and being prepared. If you are late to class (with or without a pass) you will receive a “0” for preparation for the day
 * Always treat others as you wish to be treated—listen when others speak, consider the opinions of others, and embody the SBHS Five Core Value
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">CLASS WIKI
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">The wiki will contain important information, as well as extra handouts and assignment sheets whenever possible. Please check the wiki whenever you are absent.
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Throughout the year, you may be required to post homework responses to the wiki.
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">The wiki also contains information to help you as a student. Be sure to check it for help in all classes.
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">INTEGRITY
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">At the beginning of the year, we will review South Brunswick High School’s Integrity Policy. You will be expected to uphold that policy at all times.


 * ===<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">MATERIALS ===
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Each quarter you will receive a grade based on your class preparation. In order to receive full points, you must be on time and be prepared with the following items every class:
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Notebook or Binder

If this is the case, make sure the section is CLEARLY marked for English and ONLY contains English work.
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Always make sure your notebook or binder has plenty of sheets of college ruled paper.
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif;">We will have periodic notebook checks, so keep it organized!
