Rules of Engagement

Look around, bored faces in your classroom, yours one of them, people checking messages, texts, playing games on their phones. About this time, the enthusiasm of the new semester starts to wane and the drudgery sets in. Maybe, just maybe, everyone in this class is not pulling his share of the load. Faculty member making the class boring, it is easy to blame him or her. They are only supposed to do their part. What are you contributing to this undesirable situation? You will get what you work for. Are you coming to each class, reading assignment done, ready to ask questions, observations you wish to share, all homework complete? I didn’t think so….after all the test is a few weeks away. You are breaking the rules of engagement. You maximize your learning and your positive attitude in a class if you actively contribute to its betterment. No teacher can or should be expected to do it alone. So, roll up your sleeves and get started creating exactly what you are looking for. You will be surprised how few boring classes you then find on your schedule.
