Rules
Physical violence in this class is not only frowned upon, it's a one-way ticket to detention.
Algren will tolerate differences of opinion, and people in the class are encouraged to ask questions or even downright challenge his views or teaching methods, but blatant disrespect will be dealt with however Algren sees fit. Which, really, means that he'll find ways to pick on you.
People caught sleeping in class will face the full wrath of whatever the Danger Shop has to offer for that lesson, and if Algren catches you passing notes, he'll intercept them, read them out loud, and reserve the right to be a crotchety old grump about it for the rest of the period.
