1. Be prompt for all classes, and follow any and all guidelines for appropriate class wear, as some of the coursework will be done off school grounds. Any student who is not prepared for the course will be sent immediately to detention in order to not hold back those who do come prepared for the day's work.
2. Work will be largely based on participation in class, rather than out of class assignments, although in some cases, Professor Tremaine may offer practice workshops because of the difficulty in some of the techniques and spells and the conflict they will present with the school rules. It is a student's best possibility to increase their scores by attending the practice sessions rather than by traditional research papers or other traditional means.
3. The professor tends to use nicknames rather than given names. It is not intended to be a derogatory term. Rather, it is somewhat of a term of respect and endearment. If the time ever should come that the professor would become displeased with you, he tends to be direct and will let you know. Namecalling will not be used ever in a punitive sense.
4. Exams, quizzes and tests may be rather unexpected and will also be based on what skills you have learned and what you find you can do or cannot. This class is based on what you actually learn of practical skills.
5. No student will be permitted to participate in the course unless they bring the accompanying permission slip from their parents or legal guardians. The school and the professor will not be responsible in the unlikely event of a mishap during student class participation.
6. Professor Tremaine tends to be candid, but respectful, and he expects the same from the students. He can be found in his office daily before and after class, and at other times by appointments. He welcomes all student questions and concerns.
7. Any student who misses 3 lessons or more, will be given an incomplete for the class. Professor Tremaine will do every effort to try to help the student maintain his or her student in class, but inadequate attendance and participation will create an impossibility for the student to progress.
