Write a 100- to 150-word response to each of the following questions: • How do you currently approach the weekly readings in the course? Currently, I approach weekly course reading material in a fairly unconventional way.

I generally have all reading material downloaded to my laptop in advance as we all should so I can get in a bit of reading time during my break time and my clients nap time. The problem with this is, even though it is quiet and my break time, there is still quite a bit of activity going on around me having to deal with small odds and ends, breaking any concentration I have and understanding of the text. I do get a small amount of time in peace when I get home and right before the kids get home after school in which I use to get in some reading and study time. This time is definitely quality time as my concentration is at its greatest and I can get something done. The night hours, usually after dinner, is where things have been really...

Student Code of Conduct is implemented to keep us safe and provide us with a safe environment for us to learn in. When we were all young our parents raised us with the value and respect on how to treat people. My parents always said treat others as you would want to be treated.

From the readings this is every day practices if you are a person with any kind of ethics, morals or values. You should take pride in yourself, and your school. In everyday life we all have rules and regulations that one must follow; I don’t see the student code of conduct materials any different from any other rule that needs to be followed. Over time, ethical leadership shapes a culture that governs itself according to shared values. These codes of conduct, academic integrities, and rules must be in place for community structure.
