Hello,
Just a few reminders...and a few of them are second or third reminders...:)
1. I realize that many of you, if not all of you, are still "adjusting" to college life and the expectations from your professors.
However, it is crucial that you take responsibility for planning and staying current with all your classes.
In this class especially, you do not want to be dropped because you are behind in your assignments. You must remain in "good standing" throughout this semester in order to earn a "CR" (CREDIT) and continue on to English 1A with me in the spring.
"Good standing" translates to attending class, participating in class discussions and exercises, and completing reading and writing assignments on time.
2. If you need a bit of guidance in time management skills, I would be very happy to talk with you about strategies for success.
3. Read ahead in our course outline and always arrive to class prepared. Also, come to class having read any new updates on the blog.
4. We meet only TWICE A WEEK for an hour and 15 minutes! Even though you have other classes besides for mine, you need to manage your time. If you are already behind in the reading of ONE AMAZING THING, that is NOT a good "sign." :) You have had plenty of time outside of class.
5. If there ARE personal issues or outside activities and responsibilities that are keeping you from being focused and successful, please talk to me!
