Dear Students,

THANK YOU! for your excellent suggestions during Monday’s class of “Instructor Expectations” to include in our course syllabus .  Here is what you said:

• Hold review sessions before exams.
• Make best efforts not to misplace work submitted by students.
• Make information on students’ grade status readily available (e.g., through OpenLab).
• Consider dropping students’ lowest grade on quizzes or homework.

These are all great suggestions, and I plan to include them.  If you would like to make additional suggestions, you may “reply” to this post (below) so the rest of the class can see them (preferred) or email them to me at kcoughlin@citytech.cuny.edu by Friday, February 1.  I will consider all suggestions and share the final list with you Monday!

Cheers,

Prof. C.
