Progress, not perfection.Robert McCall
•There will be no teaching to an exam
•Learning must be thematic
•Must read the textbook
•Solve problems (reading is just not enough)
•Work hard

TYPE C
TYPE A STUDENT

Attends all classes
Does the homework properly and in a timely fashion
Shows work neatly and clearly
TYPE A STUDENT(cont’d)
Studies regularly
Does not cram for exams
Asks timely and appropriate questions
Gets help when needed
Uses mental floss
Mental Floss
In one ear and out the
other
Dont’ you get criss-
crossed
I recommend you try a
little mental floss

PROPERLY DONE HOMEWORK
Completed on time in a deliberate fashion
Written neatly
For problems requiring a numerical approach,
work must be shown clearly and number
crunching must lead to the correct numerical
answer required for analysis.
Correct answers (numerical or otherwise) without
work will not receive credit.
TYPE B STUDENT
Randomly follows the
characteristics of the
TYPE A Student
Help is still possible
TYPE C STUDENT
You do not want to be
in this situation.
Help may very well be
impossible at this
point.
There is no extra
credit that can be done
after the course to
improve grade
TYPE C STUDENT(cont’d)
You do not want to be
in this situation.
Help may very well be
impossible at this
point.
There is no extra
credit that can be done
after the course to
improve grade
ATTENDANCE
Students are expected to attend every class.
While emergency situations calling students away
exist, students are still responsible for materials
covered and for any announcements made in class.
Your instructor can make an attempt to
accommodate a specific situation that causes an
absence, but only if the instructor is notified (e-
mail, voice mail) beforehand. However, only valid
absence excuses will be considered. Check your e-
mail for deadlines and other information from your
instructor.
CLASSROOM DECORUM
When the instructor is ready to begin class it
is time for student conversation to stop. Student
activities at this point should be dedicated to the
lesson at hand. Doing homework, chemistry or
otherwise, is not an acceptable activity. Completing
laboratory reports for chemistry is not an acceptable
activity. Students participating in these endeavors
indicate they are not part of the class. Do not waste
your time, the class’s, or the instructor’s.
TYPE D STUDENTStudents who think college is a rite of passage.
You are here to learn; getting a “good” grade is secondary.

ignored.
