EXPECTATIONS

Education is the greatest power you can possess.

 

Time Management * Responsible * Prioritization

Be Informed: Read the syllabus, check course announcements Daily

Be Present: Attend class every time it meets,

Be Diligent: Compare Calendars - Personal, Work, Children's, and any other calendar against your course schedule. Notify professor of any conflicts within plenty of time to make arrangements for missed assignments. Organization is a blessing and a curse, but it is a requirement for the achievement of one's goals

Be Prepared: Read the chapter prior to class. Arrive _________ and ready to discuss the material

                                                        Fill in blank with: excited/enthusiastic/curious/intrigued/questioning/

Be Open Minded: Your world is not the only world that exists, the only way things are done, the only correct solutions.

Be Precise: Concentrate, Reflect, Ponder, become intellectual on at least one topic, be meticulous about your life's goals

Be Persistent: Strive to understand, endure any hardship, do not give up.

After all, we are all adults. Right?

Dont' Be: distracted, disrespectful, hesitant, inconsistent, one-sided, uniformed, passive, average (after all - you are not)

I will not: Talk to your parents, accept excuses for late assignments, make an exception for you that I would not make for others, provide you with individualized extra credit that is not open to all students, change the grade that you have earned up one or down by 1/2 a point

I will also not: expect less from you than you are capable of doing, require more of you than you do with concerted effort, ask you definition based questions that insult your intelligence, waste your time with assignments that do not lead to learning, settle for less than mild retention of the material, assume you are average, expect you to like me prior to your 'light bulb moment.

I know you are/can be: talented, creative, passionate, thoughtful, analytical, curious, perceptive, motivated, eager, dedicated, responsible, confident, knowledgeable, focused, conscientious, independent, resilient,
