ED101 -> Forums -> Forum 3 Setting Expectations by Kiran Malhotra - Thursday, 31 March 2005, 10:06 PM (EST) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi Gary, Instructors should schedule orientation for the new beginging students with clear presentation of the syllabus as well as policy and procedures for the classroom so that there can be no misconceptions of what is expected of the course and How it is going to be presented in what different formats. Students can also be given a chance for feedback. Having students sign the Class Rules and explaining the grading process is a good way to get the students started in the right direction. K Malhotra
