Student Expectations Students are expected to come to class with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn and participate. Remember, the more you are engaged in the course, the more interesting it will be. If possible, please let me know in advance if you are going to be absent; it will be up to you to find out what work you have missed, and catch up on it promptly. I am always around for extra help, so make sure you find me if you have questions or need assistance with something. I look forward to working with you. |
