- Address instructor as Mr./Ms. (last name) or sir/ma'am.
- If you are called upon or are told to do something by the instructor, answer with, "Yes sir/ma’am!"
- If you need to ask the instructor a question, say, "Excuse me sir/ma'am" and wait for a response.
- If you are having trouble learning a technique, first try to figure it out by watching others, and then ask the instructor for help.
- If expected in class and you will be absent or tardy, notify the instructor as soon as possible.
