Student Responsibilities Part 1


Student Responsibilities
Part 1
Students have the right to seize the responsibility for their own destiny and should be encouraged to do so. With every right comes responsibility!
1.      I have the responsibility to come to every class prepared to listen, to participate, and to learn.
2.      I have the responsibility to read the text carefully, nothing important ideas and rephrasing concepts in my own words.
3.      I have the responsibility to work examples in the textbook and those given in class.
4.      I have the responsibility to consult other students, the teacher, an assistant, and other resources whenever I need the extra help.
5.      I have the responsibility to understand that teacher is not primarily responsible for making me understand, but that it is my job to study and to learn.
6.      I have the responsibility of keeping an open mind and trying to comprehend what the teacher is trying to get across.

Successful students exhibit a combination of successful attitudes and behaviors as well as intellectual capacity.
1.      Successful students are responsible and active. Successful students get involved in their studies, accept responsibility for their own education, and are active participants in it!
Responsibility means control. It’s the difference between leading and being led. Your own efforts control your grade, you earn the glory or deserve the blame, and you make the choice. Active classroom participation improves grades without increasing study time. You can sit there, act bored, daydream, or sleep. Or, you can actively listen, think, question, and take notes like someone in charge of their learning experience. Either option costs one class period.
