IC Classroom Interactions:

1. In Professor Adler's classroom, there are a number of training dummies and a set of drawers that include personal items students may need on a day to day basis. Students are welcome to come in and use these at their leisure without waiting for the professor to be there. For more information on Geo's classroom and what's included, please visit her office where there is a map.
2. Professor Adler is very open about where students sit, and if they want to chat amongst themselves. It's a light hearted room although when Professor Adler is speaking, please pay attention.
3. Professor Adler is very house point heavy, both inside and outside the classroom. She will punish students who misbehave, but she will also reward those when she witnesses them doing something admirable.
