hours/week of studying outside of class Few or no reminders about deadlines, tests,

assignments; you must check syllabus More and harder reading/writing Just reading is not enough—you must also

analyze, critique, question the texts “Teaching” ≠ “Telling you the material”

Evergreen is different from other colleges No majors (but you can create area of emphasis) No required courses One program, rather than several classes No grades—instead you get narrative
