Rules and Guidelines (Please Read!)
 

OOC Rules
* Follow all SS Board Rules. It isn't that hard, and I won't allow you to claim ignorance.
* Announcing that you're late to class, or coming in and sitting down once class is in session, will result in the loss of house points. Please do not do it. Just jump in and play.
* Please keep all posts in character. Excessive out-of-character (ooc) comments will not be tolerated.
* Please be sensible in your abilities. If any member of the trio wasn't doing it in the year you're in, you probably can't either. There will always be some exceptions, but those should be few and far between.
* You don't need to attend class or turn in homework, but it might help to earn some points for your house.
* Please do not post in the office unless you have knocked first. Just walking in is rude after all. I will take away house points and make you walk out and knock.
* If you die, you're dead. You have to wait until the next term to play with the other kiddies again.

Homework Rules
* Please PM me all homework. Pertinent information, such as Name, Username, Member ID, and House should be at the top. To find your member ID, simply open your profile and look up. The numbers at the end of the URL is your member ID.
* Homework should be in your own words. If you quote something, list the reference. Copy-and-paste homework won't be tolerated.
* Please please please use spellcheck on your assignment, and do it wisely.
* 1inch of parchment is approximately a 4-sentance paragraph. Less if you use bigger handwriting (font). ;) But I ask you not to.
* Homework is generally due before the next class. If class has started, it is too late to turn in homework. Exceptions will be stated.

Classroom Rules
* Please no eating, drinking or gum in the class unless it's a part of the class. If it gets chewed and/or swallowed, you're in trouble. And please be sensible and not have anything you or anyone else is going to eat in the classroom when we're working on poisonous plants.
* No swearing, and no obscene gestures. Imperfectly emulating such will get you in more trouble than actually doing it.
* No horeseplay or rough-housing.
* No loopholes. If you're looking for a loop-hole, you know you're doing something wrong.
* Relationship matters are for outside the classroom.
* Leave your problems outside the classroom and the garden. This is about plants, not your problems. Step in my door with a bad mood and you can step right back out.
* Be polite and courteous to your fellow students, as well as the professors and/or visitors.
* Unless I specifically state you can, please do not take plants from the classroom. Some are very rare, delicate, or even dangerous. Those caught with one will be severely punished.
* Anyone losing more than five points in a lesson will be given detention for disruptive behavior.
