Good Manners for Programs and Workshops

  • Avoid excessive talking. Listen to the teacher and do not attempt to answer questions for the teacher. Listen to instructions carefully and read all written material. Do not monopolize teach-er’s time. Share!
  • Teachers are hired for their expertise. If your method for that technique is different, give the new way a trial. Do not discuss other teachers or their style. If you differ with the teacher, use the evaluation form to express your views.
  • Strict program/workshop policy prohibits smoking, food and drink in work areas.
  • Written directions are not to be copied or taught without written permission from the teacher. Remember copyright laws.
  • Wear your name tag.
  • Be on time and prepared with class needs as called for in instructions. Anticipate extra needs: extension cords, lights, needles, etc.
  • Return from lunch promptly. Lateness is a discourtesy to the teacher and class members.
  • Make every effort to stay for the entire session.
  • If you must leave early, forewarn the teacher and make arrangements to get additional instruc-tions from a fellow student. Do not demand time from the teacher.
  • Do not delay the teacher at the end of the class as travel times may be affected.
