When done with your assignment, put them into the basket on my desk in your folder.  If your assignments are not in the folder, I automatically take .2 points off of your grade.

It’s also unprofessional to refuse a client, ignore a client, use loud or abusive language.  If you have a problem with someone, practice constraint and diplomacy. If a client irritates you come to the teacher you are assigned to.  Smile till your teeth bleed.
