Hi Connie:
I think students come to classes with all kinds of varied expectatations. When we are prepared, we are posed to set an example of being prepared, delivering pertinent content, utilizing relative media, and demonstrating personal expectations for our students.
Although some classes have students that whine, I believe most want direction and guidelines. We can provide that in our readiness. When we're prepared, we're ready to provide what our students need.
Regards, Barry
