@fglass : I hear you! Sometimes it seems as if students feel entitled to a good grade, just because they are in a class. Honestly, I address this on the first day, but in a positive way. I ask them who's responsible for their grade. I let them tell me that it is up to themselves. I also let them come up with what they need to do in order to succeed. We even go over grades, and what constitutes an A versus a C. I do have them sign a form saying they understand the syllabus, and are responsible for their success… >>>
