Student Expectations
Expectations for optimal classroom interaction
This course will be taught in a learner-centered environment. As such:
You are expected to work actively with your peers, sharing, taking and giving, listening and explaining, questioning and answering.
You are expected to be prepared for participation in class discussions and in group work, and for assisting your peers to come to an understanding of the material.
You are expected to take an active roll in the learning processs.
You should be open to listen to, and appreciate, differences in opinions, life experience, worldviews, values/beliefs, etc.
Most importantly, you are expected to be courteous to each other, and to me (Professor Krauss).
Our class is a hate-free zone. Please be mindful of how you communicate your values, beliefs, ideas, opinions, etc. While we will often disagree with other people, it does not give anyone the right to intentionally hurt others with words or to discriminate against them. Words matter.
