We will working in a cooperative learning environment and everyone is expected to contribute to class discussions. We will have lots of fun but know the difference between education and entertainment expect education! Fun is just a bonus

Effort Only you can learn. Teachers cannot make you learn and cannot teach unless you are an active participant in the process. You must make an effort to engage the material and make it your own. View your education as your job. Show up on time, follow the rules, stay late if necessary but put in lots of effort, and the payoff will come.
