Come to class prepared.
Study beyond the assignments. Bring in news articles on educational technology.
Take active part in class lecture-discussions. Collect or create interesting
graphics, templates or computer programs. The instructor will reward you
for your effort. Use your lab time wisely.
Participate in class discussions.
Asking insightful questions that indicate you are really thinking and interested
in your education will not only broaden your horizons, it will give the
instructor a real boost and an opportunity to expound on your interest.
Think about what is said in class and about what you read. Don't
just memorize.
Mind your manners.
You would not like to teach while students are watching the clock, checking
their e-mail, doing other assignments, or stifling a yawn? First watch
and understand any demonstration, before you write notes. The instructor
allows time for notes and gives notes when necessary. Dress for class appropriately
and do not wear baseball caps, please. No eating or drinking in class and
lab.
Ask for help.
Volunteer answers to questions asked in class or ask questions if you need
help. If you don't understand the assignment for the next class or what
is covered in class, ask. Visit during office hours. If you are failing
behind, arrange with the instructor, lab assistant or a friend for help.
Type and save all your assignments.
The content and appearance of your work tells about your attitude towards
the work, the class, and yourself. Packaging is important in our society,
and if your work is clear, legible, and typed the instructor will
be please with your effort.
