 Guide to Proper Etiquette in Muggle Society
 Out of Character Rules:
✘ SS site rules and Role Play Specific rules
Apply to this classroom and throughout the school at all times. No exceptions. Any questions about these rules can be directed to a moderator or an administrator.
In character offenses will be punished in character. This means your character will lose house points or get detention.
Out of character offenses will be punished out of character. Therefore, you the member, will get a warning or infraction in accordance with SS site rules. ✘ Additionally, anyone who changes their answers after reading what another member has written, will not earn ANY points for changing their answer. If you had more to add, post again. You are free to edit coding or quotes in your post, but I will check your edits to be sure you haven't added information that someone else gave or changed your answers. Just do yourselves (and your house) a favor; don't change your answers.
In Character Rules:
(For your student)
✘ Respect Differences; I don't care if so-and-so talks funny or looked at you wrongly; you will show respect to your peers and your professor during lessons and in the Muggle Studies Classroom. Disrespect once and you will lose house points; multiple offenses will earn you house point deduction AND detention.
✘ No chatting during the lesson; excessive talking creates distractions and is very disrespectful to myself and your classmates. Chatting will not be tolerated and if you choose to do so, then I will be forced deduct House Points from you.
✘ Be on time. If you are late, then think of that as more house points from you. If you arrive to the lesson after it has already begun, simply pretend you have been there the whole time. Likewise, don't leave early. Announcing you are leaving early will also earn yourself a point deduction and possible detention (possibly involving doing EXTRA work with no credit)
✘ Dress policy. In addition to being on time, Hogwarts Dress code is in effect at all times during my lessons. This includes proper black school robes and appropriate footwear. Anyone arriving to class out of proper uniform will be expected to submit an eight inch essay on the importance of uniforms by the given deadline or a ten point deduction will result.
✘ About house points. There will be opportunities to earn points for your house, but remember that the point of the School RP isn't just about earning house points - it is to ROLE PLAY. Each lesson, students will have the opportunity to earn up to twenty house points; roughly, ten from homework, five from class participation, and five for extra credit should a student show exemplary effort. Class participation and homework are voluntary, but if you wish to earn house points, then they are necessary.
✘ Do not cheat. Plagiarism is illegal in the muggle world, as it is in the Muggle Studies classroom. On homework, this could mean NO points awarded to any of those involved in the offense and possible point deduction equivalent to the value of the homework itself. In class, this could mean point deduction and possible detention at the discretion of Professor Hadley.
✘ No eating or goofing around. Any abusive behavior or remarks in my classroom will result immediately in points loss and/or detention. Drinking is allowed, but ONLY water. I do not fancy cleaning up any sticky syrup messes in my free time.
✘ The final and perhaps most important rule: HAVE FUN! Learning about Muggles is exciting and hopefully we'll be able to bring to light some of the MANY similarities (and differences) our world shares with theirs.
✐ Special Note: I am on Eastern Standard Time. I will however try to announce lesson times in both EST and GMT, as well as posting all pertinent information on your common room notice boards, as well as my own classroom announcements. I will also make an attempt to give you at least 48 hours notice for lessons so you can make arrangements to not miss my lessons, if you wish to attend.
