Professionalism

Be professional at all times. Conduct yourself as if you are working in a corporate environment, even if you are teaching in a VILT online class from home.
Be personal. Remember student names and use them.
Be present and involved. Don't leave the classroom during exercises. Don't email, text, or take cell calls except on breaks or at lunch.
Don't be too casual, even if some students are. Don't swear. Don't make jokes that could be offensive. Don't make comments on religion or politics.
Don't criticize or make fun of students, even if they're not present, and even if other students are engaging in that sort of thing.

Arrive 30-60 minutes before start for regular classes. Arrive 15 minutes early for VILT online classes. Get started on time.
Start class with introductions.
Be available for questions after class ends.
Breaks should be 10-15 minutes, one in the morning, one in the afternoon.
Lunch should be one hour. Be on time or early when coming back from lunch. Get started on time.
