A while ago a buddy of mine upgraded my classroom policies to reflect a little more of the vigor he assumes I bring to my classes. He might be right.

By the way, I think a few modifications, Cool Hand Luke style might be in order for some of your policies.

I only accept university-excused absences.
If you're unreasonably late, that's a night in the box.
If it's clear to me that you're not prepared, that's a night in the box.
If you fool around in class, that's a night in the box.
Each absence after the first three will take two percentage points off your final grade, and a night in the box.
Nine absences will equal an F in the course, and a night in the box.
If you have perfect attendance, I'll round up a borderline grade.
I won't grade late work unless we've made previous arrangements.
Ten or more typos in any one typed assignment will get you an F on that assignment, and a night in the box.
I won't read messy, disorganized, or neglectful work.

Given the current state of affairs I might have to implement these policies changes soon.
