, Instructor General Expectations
Preparation before class
The classroom is your workplace. In a sense, the instructor is your supervisor. As such, the
supervisor will expect that you are prepared when you come to the workplace. In a real-world
workplace, if you are prepared, the quality of your work will demonstrate it, and your rewards will
include more responsibility, promotions, and more compensation. In the classroom, the quality of
your work will lead to rewards, such as more autonomy to complete assignments and higher grades.
By contrast, if you are not prepared in the workplace, the quality of your work will demonstrate it, and
you will not receive more responsibility, promotions, or compensation. In fact, you will probably be
limited in advancement or terminated. In the classroom, if you are not prepared, the instructor must
spend more time lecturing, giving you less time to work independently. If you are not prepared, you
will submit poor or “average” assignments, have lower test scores, and will earn lower grades in the
course.
Essentially, it’s your choice to be prepared or not prepared. For those students who choose to be
prepared, here are some ways to do it:
Read the chapters in the text before coming to class. The calendar tells you when we will be
discussing the topics in each chapter.
Make notes before coming to class, and ask the instructor about topics, concepts, principles,
and models during class.
Participation in the Classroom
Again, the classroom is your workplace, and your instructor is your supervisor. When you are in class,
you are in a meeting with your supervisor, who expects that you will be prompt, attentive, and
engaged. In the workplace, when you are prompt, attentive, and engaged, you will impress your
supervisor and your co-workers. If you are persistently late, not attentive to your supervisor or co-
workers, and not engaged in the meeting, you will not impress your supervisor or co-workers.
In the workplace, companies and work units have norms of behavior, or rules, for meetings. The rules
are designed to promote efficiency and harmony and to ensure that work gets done. In the classroom,
we also have rules for each class meeting. The rules are designed to promote efficiency and
harmony and ensure that we accomplish the course objectives.
It is your choice as to whether you abide by the classroom rules. If you choose to be prompt,
attentive, and engaged in the class, here are the norms of behavior, or rules:
Be in your seat and ready to begin the class meeting at the appointed time. Do not be
persistently late. If you must be late to class, let the instructor know prior to the class meeting
time.
Plan to stay in the class meeting for the duration. Do not take phone or bathroom or water
breaks during the class. Do not leave early. Again, if you need special consideration or know
that you need to leave early on a particular day, tell the instructor ahead of time.
Put ALL electronic devices (cell phones, pads/notebooks, and laptop computers) away in
pockets, purses, or backpacks. Do not leave them on your desktops. The instructor will tell
you when the use of electronic devices is permitted in the classroom.
Take notes in the classroom with pencils or pens and paper.
Ask the instructor questions during lectures for amplification or clarification.
Participate in classroom discussion – whether the discussion is for the entire class, your
team, or a small group exercise.
