What Is An Example Of Off-Task Behavior

Decent Essays
Students who engage in off-task behavior will also lose points from their participation grade each time an offense is seen because off-task behavior usually leads to safety issues and decreases the quality of participation for you and potentially for others. The following are examples of off-task behavior and the point deductions associated with each:
1. Student is consistently chatting without engagement in the task at hand (10 points) 2. Student is consistently on cell phone during class (20 points)
3. Student distracts other students, or is disruptive to those trying to learn (20 points) 4. Student comes to class with inappropriate attire (20 points)
5. Student engages in unsafe behavior intentionally, such as trying to strike a golf ball

Thus, before we can demand more penalties for behavioral offenses, we need to enforce the one’s we have, to see if they need revision. Then, we can adjust as deemed necessary. Thus, in practicality, it is not solely the staff or administration of this campus to enforce these conduct rules.…
