FIRST GENERATION STUDENTSHIDDEN “RULES” TO COLLEGE Turn off/silence your cell phone in class. Come to class on time Have your book open, eyes forward, pen

in handTake notes on key points, not every single

word PLAN time to study/do HW w/in 24hrs of

today’s class. Reflect: what is working for you, what

HOW TO GET AN “A” Show up on time to each class. Do not miss class,

come tardy, or leave early. Be prepared for each class with your homework and

studying done. Follow the directions and be mindful of the

grading rubric for each assignment. Pay attention to your syllabus. All homework and

quizzes are listed in the syllabus and are downloadable/on the website.

Work hard—make a true effort with your homework and class work.

Participate in class discussions and activities. Be diligent, responsible, and a good citizen of

the class. (This means, among other things, being respectful of everyone, including yourself. Put away your cell phone. Put away your food.)

Contact the teacher. I am here to help you! Get your work done early. Waiting until the last minute may

mean not having your work done because of unforeseen problems with

computers, printers, etc.
