Hi Becky, I am pleased that you were able to get some great ideas from the course. I find it hard to believe your institution does not have policies in place regarding cell phones, late students, food and drinks, etc. The policies at my institution are as follows: *Cell Phones-Cell phones must be turned off; if the cell phone goes off, the student MUST leave the room, and it counts as an absence and any work due or done on that day will be graded a "0". *Late students-students have a 10-minute grace peroid to get to class; if the student is late the student will be marked tardy. A tardy consitutes as one hour of missed time; if the student has more than eight hours of missed time, the student will be withdrawn from the course. *Food and drinks-violation of the conduct code; the student will be suspended, however, with the right to appeal. You need to talk to the appropriate personnel to get some policies in place. Patricia
