I have very high expectations of those seeking a higher education. Arguably, one does not have a say in how their education is forged in childhood and adolescence; however, when one endeavors to acquire a higher education in their adulthood, then it is up to them to make sure that this experience is the best and most useful it can possibly be.
I firmly expect all of the Learners enrolled in my courses...
- to be studious and seek to overcome academic deficiencies.
- to be responsible and accountable for their own learning and overall education.
- to be self-disciplined.
- to persevere in the face of obstacles.
- to possess a strong work ethic and to practice high principles of professionalism.
- to strike a balance between the demands of higher education and their personal and professional lives.
- to make necessary sacrifices to obtain a quality education.
- to NOT make excuses for failure or poor performance.
- to have faith in their unique abilities and to realize their full potential.
- to participate FULLY in class and NOT stand by idle.
- to demonstrate rational forethought and to be proactive, rather than reactive.
- to take advantage of all opportunities afforded to them.
- to ask questions and actively seek answers.
- to NOT rely on uninformed opinions.
- to think critically and dynamically.
- to believe that knowledge is POWER!!!
I will firmly hold every Learner enrolled in my courses to these expectations without favoritism.
