FAQ Course Expectations/Zoom Etiquette

Course Expectations

 

In an academic setting, appropriate classroom behavior for adults is pivotal in fostering a conducive learning environment for all participants. Adult learners, with their diverse experiences and perspectives, are expected to model a high standard of conduct that reflects respect for both the educational setting and the shared goals of the class. This involves being punctual, prepared, and engaged in the learning process, while also demonstrating professional courtesy to instructors and peers. Here’s a summary of key behaviors:

 

  • Punctuality: Arrive on time and ready to participate.
  • Preparation: Complete readings and assignments in advance.
  • Engagement: Actively participate in discussions and activities.
  • Respect: Show consideration for the opinions and contributions of others and the instructor.
  • Professionalism: Maintain a courteous and professional demeanor.
  • Communication: Express thoughts clearly and constructively.
  • Focus: Avoid distractions, such as using phones or other electronic devices for non-class-related activities.
  • Recording Policy: Do not record lectures or discussions without explicit permission.

 

 



Classroom Behavior Expectations

The Real Estate Learning Group is committed to maintaining a respectful, distraction-free, and learning-centered environment. By registering for a course, you agree to the following behavior policies. Participation is a privilege and may be revoked at our discretion.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Take Ownership of Learning
    Engage actively, ask relevant questions, and complete all required work.

  • Attend Every Class
    Notify your instructor in advance of any emergency or illness. Missed sessions must be made up within 6 months and may require rescheduling to a future course.

  • Be On Time and Stay
    Late arrivals and early departures disrupt the learning environment.

  • Limit Distractions
    Avoid side conversations, silence cell phones, and refrain from audio/video recording without instructor consent.

  • Be Considerate
    Participate, but allow space for others to learn. Keep comments on-topic and avoid dominating discussions.

  • Respect Your Instructor
    Instructors are experienced professionals. Address concerns constructively and, if needed, privately.

  • Support Fellow Students
    Respect differing perspectives and learning styles.

  • Classroom Access
    Only registered students may attend. Please make arrangements in advance for nursing infants.

  • Service Animals
    In compliance with the Maine Human Rights Act, service animals are welcome in our classrooms.

  • Camera must remain on at all times.

  • Stay muted unless speaking.

  • No phone use unless approved.

  • Do not drive during class – this will result in removal.

  • Remain stationary and engaged.

  • Avoid background distractions or outside conversations.
