Setting Expectations

Public

Discussion:

Hi Carol,
Right you are about being clear in your expectations for your students. No one likes surprises unless they are presents. When a student is working hard to achieve a certain level of success in a course and is thrown a curve in terms of expectations or additions to what was shared as being expectations then the learning curve starts to change. Instructors that constantly change requirements will soon find themselves with a rebellion on their hands and when this happens no one wins.
