STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
- Read the college catalog and all materials you
receive during registration. These materials tell you what the college
expects of you.
- Read the syllabus for each class. The syllabus
tells you what the instructor expects from you.
- Attend all class meetings. Something important
to learning happens during every class period. If you must miss a class
meeting, talk to the instructor in advance about what you should do.
- Be on time. If you come in after class has
started, you disrupt the entire class.
- Never interrupt another class to talk to the
instructor or a student in that class
- Be prepared for class. Complete reading
assignments and other homework before class so that you can understand the
lecture and participate in discussion. Always have pen/pencil, paper, and
other specific tools for class.
- Learn to take good notes. Write down ideas
rather than word-for-word statements by the instructor.
- Allow time to use all the resources available to
you at the college. Visit your instructor during office hours for help
with material or assignments you do not understand; use the library; use
the free tutors, tapes, computers, and other resources in the
- Treat others with respect. Part of the college
experience is being exposed to people with ideas, values, and backgrounds
different from yours. Listen to others and evaluate ideas on their own
merit.
