What College Teachers Expect
What College Teachers Expect From College Students
Before the semester begins:
  • Be sure to plan your class schedule (and your life) so that school has a high priority, and that arrangements are made so that you can attend most (if not all) class sessions and that you have reserved enough time for studying and for being present for tests.
The FIRST class session:
  • You should always go to the first session of each of your classes.  Being absent sends signals to your instructor that you have other priorities.
  • Learn your instructor's name.
  • Learn the name and number of your course (for example, PSYC 101), your course's title (for example, General Psychology), which section you're in (for example, F003 or R001), and where your class is located (for example, FIRW 122 which is 122 West Building).  All of this information is found on your printed class schedule available on MyBGSU.
  • You should have purchased a notebook or prepared a separate section in a loose-leaf notebook for class notes.  Don't forget a pencil or pen!  Be ready to start taking notes!
The SECOND class session:
  • You should have read your syllabus and should be familiar with the expectations your instructor has for you.
  • You should have purchased your books and all other materials required for the course.  Remember to keep your receipts!
  • You should have begun reading the required textbook.
