to class on time in a joking and fun way. During the fourth week of class, three students walked into the classroom ten

minutes after class began. Professor Ramirez stopped class and started yelling at the students for interrupting class.

Although Professor Ramirez had made it clear she expected students to arrive on time, she responded to late arrivals in the first few weeks

of class in a joking way. The professor was attempting to manage how the students interpreted her

by being easygoing.
