Goal Setting

•  Setting a goal is very useful, even if the results are not what you had intended. Goals help you decide what you want and how you are going to get there.

• Goals are specific, attainable, and something that you want. They can be short term, long term, whatever.

• Think about what you’d like to get out of 1) Your FYE experience and2) Your Bellevue College experience.

Brainstorm some goals for both on page 4 of your manual.

Why do you think Bellevue College has these two policies?

College Knowledge: BC Policies

What does it mean for you knowing that your grade point average has to stay above a 2.0 (C) in order to remain a student at Bellevue College?

Do either of these policies connect with the goals that you wrote at the beginning of class? If so, how?

What follow-up questions do you have after reading the Grading Policy?

What follow-up questions do you have after reading the Academic Standing Policy?

Time management is not about managing time – it is about managing ourselves and how we choose to use

our time.

It is all about our choices.How will you choose to use your time?

Discrimination: Action based on prejudice toward social others. When we act on our

prejudgments, we are discriminating.

Harassment: The act of systematic and/or continued unwanted and annoying actions of one

party or a group, including threats and demands.

Prejudice: Learned prejudgment about members of social groups to which we don’t belong.

Prejudice is based on limited knowledge or experience with the group. Simplistic judgments and

assumptions are made and projected onto everyone from that group.

Privilege: The rights, advantages, and protections enjoyed by some at the the expense of and

beyond the rights, advantages, and protections available to others. Privilege is socially constructed to benefit members of the dominant group.

Bellevue College is committed to maintaining an environment in which every member of the

campus community feels welcome to participate in the life of the college, free from

harassment and discrimination.We value our different backgrounds at

Bellevue College, and students, faculty, staff members, and administrators are to treat one

another with dignity and respect.
