10. My expectations for each student There will be a summer reading packet with essay responses due on the first day of class. Students will do all the readings, homework, and extra credit to prepare for lectures and class discussions. Students will take the AP Test Students will work like they are in a university course while being a student here in RM 601. Have fun challenging themselves and understanding the world around them!
