2. Be responsible- Be responsible for your learning and the learning of others. You will show responsibility by participating in discussions, taking time to think deeply about a topic we are learning about and not rushing through work, and by taking an active role in class. To show responsibility, you will not only have to complete the work but will have to share your thought process going into the work you’ve done and be ready to share that with the class.
