Summary:
- Welcome to college. This is the "big leagues." Your degree here is what you make of it. Hundreds of thousands of people will earn degrees in the United States the year you graduate; consequently, your goals need to look beyond graduation, you need to become someone who distinguishes themselves from the pack. I strongly recommend that you choose "excellence" as the means to distinguish yourself.
- Perfection may be impossible, but by pursuing perfection you might achieve excellence. This goes for you and me both.
- This course is designed to help you develop the skills and maturity necessary to excel in college. Unlike other courses that merely expect you to be responsible, I have designed a rigorous curriculum that encourages and rewards good scholarship.
- Do your work, turn it in on time, attend class every day, do not make excuses, be responsible (even when it's not your fault), help others develop responsibility, be a leader.
- Make backups of your work (this is extremely important)
- The first quiz is in one week. Make sure you prepare. I will have a copy of the textbook in my office for you to borrow for an hour at a time in case you don't have the textbook yet. If you would like me to order a textbook for you come to my office.
- I am your advisor and your professor. I really (really) want you to succeed. Please respect my office hours. I Prefer to meet by appointment.
