To add clarification around the registration piece here are the 2 points you must consider
1. Your number one priority in exchange is your academic responsibility.
To give you context, a typical student on exchange will take 4 Fuqua classes each semester (2 classes each term) with the option to increase with special permission. 1 class = 3 credits = 27 contact hours, or class time.
2. You must comply with your home institution’s guidelines.
Fuqua Classroom Norms:
Promptness
- Classes will start on time and end on time; breaks will end at the time specified. Students should be in their seats and prepared for class discussion before class starts and before the break ends.
- Always bring your name tent.
- Some classes have handouts and/or require you to turn in an assignment before class starts. You should arrive in time to pick up a handout at the front of the class or turn in an assignment. Don’t walk to the front once class has started.
- If you arrive late, take a seat at the back of the classroom so as to avoid disturbing others. It is fine to move into a better seat at the break.
Courtesy – In General
- Don’t leave the classroom while class is in session. Wait until a break or until class ends. If you are ill, or awaiting news because of a family emergency, let the instructor know before class and sit at the back of the classroom.
- All electronic devices should be turned off during class. If you need to be in touch because of a family emergency, let the instructor know before class and keep your device on vibrate.
- Eat before you come to class; beverages are okay.
- Clean up after yourself and others.
Courtesy – Class Discussion
- Listen carefully to the professor and to your classmates.
- Raise your hand when you want to speak and wait to be acknowledged by the professor.
- Do not interrupt someone else who is speaking.
- If someone else makes the comment you planned to make, put your hand down. Don’t repeat a comment someone else has already made.
- Be respectful of others’ comments and ideas.
Preparedness
- Come to class having completed all the assigned readings, cases and other assignments.
- Bring all the necessary class materials with you to class including cases, readings and an extra copy of your assignment (if one is due).
- Cold calls are fair game, though it is better if you initiate the discussion.
