Rick, somehow I don't you think you can equate cheating on an exam with the
ringing of a cell phone. The former certainly dramatically impacts academic
performance. That latter doesn't. im
And I'll take the bait. No. I don't think such a subjective, everything
including the kitchen sink, "oh you know what I mean" term as "disruptive
behavior" is grounds for a grade reduction.
I have better ways and are far more effective than "off with your head"
threats and sentencing. Personally, I like Rod's approach. I've used it on
occasions. And, I like mine with the donuts. The student learns there are
consequences while the grade retains it's supposed academic achievement
purity. Of course, unless you take off point for lack of attendance.
I don't think such threats or actions leaves much love behind.
