Summary
The purpose of this policy is to identify the general expectations of all Hondros College of
Business faculty members.
Policy
All Hondros College of Business faculty members are expected to adhere to the following
general expectations:
• Avoid offending even one student by the use of profane language, suggestive or
sexually oriented language, ethnic jokes, etc.
• Avoid use of proper names or company names when teaching. As an education
provider to many different professions and employees of many different companies and
state agencies, it is imperative that we remain neutral regarding all entities when in front
of the class and in conversations outside class. Even giving praise to a particular
company can be seen as commenting negatively on another. Please avoid all
references (both positive and negative) to company, agencies or employee names.
• Promote Hondros College of Business, its programs and textbooks inside and outside of
the classroom.
• Maintain proper ethics and demeanor towards students, colleagues and staff.
• Introduce course objectives, syllabus and class expectations to students at the
beginning of each class.
• Utilize the supplies that are provided to you. A lapel microphone is required when you
have a class of 40 of more. A supply box with dry erase markers (blue is the preferred
color), an eraser and a wireless presentation mouse will be issued to you at the
beginning of the class and should be returned at the end of class. If one of the markers
runs out, simply throw it away.
• Write your name on the board with your Hondros email address.
• Quiz students’ understanding of materials frequently to ensure comprehension.
Conclude class with an exam (provided) and review of materials.
• Provide subject-related student counseling, as needed.
• Attend and participate in faculty workshops and meetings.
• Attend and participate in orientation and training sessions.
• Update professional knowledge on a continual basis, particularly about the subject area
in which you are teaching.
• Ensure that thorough and proper attendance is taken for every class. For assistance
with taking attendance in large classes, see site personnel.
