If you come to class late for any reason, …
Do ✓
- Read the room and figure out what we’re doing.
- If we’re already in groups, find the smallest group and join them. Apologize to them for being late and try to fit in without interrupting.
- If you’re unsure I realized your presence, talk to me after class.
Don’t ✘
- Follow me around as I try to grade on-time people’s discussions.
- Ask me where to go (see above).
- Ask me what we’re doing (see above).
- Be late next time!
At the beginning of class, I review upcoming deadlines and remind students of relevant information, such as how to review feedback on assignments (#4) that were recently graded. If you’re late, you’ll miss that information, so you should review it on your own asap.
