#10PRINCIPLES HAVE LITTLE TO DO WITH MATH OR

SCIENCE.

#11PRINCIPLES WOULD HAVE TO DO WITH

APPLYING MATH AND SCIENCE CONCEPTS.

#12PRESENTATION HAS TO DO WITH THE KIND OF

“STATEMENT” THAT MUST BE MADE FOR YOU TO CASH IN ON YOUR EXPERIENCE.

#13PRESENTATION MEANS

THAT WHATEVER GREAT IDEA YOU COME UP

WITH IS USUALLY GOOD ENOUGH BY ITSELF.

THINGS TO REPRESENT IDEAS.

SUMMARIZING AND EXPANDING UPON THE REPRESENTATION OF

IDEAS.

THAT YOU LOOSE POINTS IF YOU LEAVE A

MESS.

#17AS A STUDENT YOU

RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

EXPLAINED IN THE BLUE POLY HANDBOOK.

CLEARLY THAT YOU MAY LEAVE THE CLASS TO GO TO THE NURSE

AND THEN GO SOMEWHERE ELSE

INSTEAD.

#20IN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES

OF CLASS IT IS YOUR RIGHT TO WANDER AROUND ASKING

PEOPLE FOR A PENCIL.

#21THERE’LL BE SOME

HOMEWORK.

#22 THOUGH THERE IS HOMEWORK IN A.O.T.,

YOU MAY LEAVE HANDOUTS UNDONE IF YOU DON’T THINK YOU GOT ENOUGH TIME IN

CLASS TO FINISH.

#23AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE AMOUNT OF TIME YOU HAVE FOR CLASS EVENTS IS WHATEVER YOU THINK IT SHOULD

BE.

#24THERE ARE TWELVE

UNITS IN THIS COURSE.

#25EACH UNIT IN THIS COURSE IS ABOUT

THREE WEEKS LONG.

#26THE DURATION OF THE UNITS IN THIS COURSE IS NOT INDICATED ON

PEER MUTUAL ASSESSMENT.

GIVING CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.

#33YOU DON’T EVEN NEED

AN EMAIL ACCOUNT FOR THIS COURSE.

#34IF YOU DON’T HAVE AN EMAIL ACCOUNT THERE IS NO WAY TO GET ONE

FOR FREE.

#35“RUBRIC” EXPLAINS HOW GRADES ARE

ASSESSED.

#36“PERSEVERENCE”

MEAN YOU MAY MAKE CHOICES.

WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH DUTY AND

OBLIGATION.

#41“ACHEIVEMENT” AND

“TAKING IT EASY” MEAN ABOUT THE SAME

THING.

TO USE.

#43“RAMIFY” HAS TO DO WITH “EXTENDING.”

#44“STANDARD” AND “CRITERION” HAVE

NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER.

#45“ENGINEERING” HAS TO

DO WITH MATERIALS BUT NOT WITH ENERGY.

MEANS LETTING THE BEST PERSON GET OUT

IN FRONT AND DO MOST OF THE WORK.

#47SINCE YOU ARE

JUNIORS, YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO

SHOW YOUR WORK IN A MATH PROBLEM.

#48THE ANSWER IN A MATH PROBLEM

SHOULD BE UNDERLINED.

#49IN A MATH PROBLEM, IT

IS NOT NECESSARY TO START OFF BY STATING

WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.

#50SINCE WE ALL KNOW

THE BASIC FORMULAS, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO

STATE THEM IN MATH PROBLEMS.

#51AT OUR LEVEL, MATH PROBLEMS BASICALLY JUST REQUIRE FILLING

IN THE ANSWER.

#52THE STRATEGY FOR FINDING A MATH

SOLUTION WOULD OFTEN INCLUDE

MAKING A LABELED SKETCH.

#53 THE “GENERAL CONDITIONS” SECTION DIVIDER STATES THAT WE ARE NOT IN A.O.T.

TO ENGAGE IN THE “JOINT ENTERPRISE OF

LEARNING.”

FOR SHORT ANSWERS IS A COMPLETE SENTENCE.

#55SHORT ANSWERS ONLY

REQUIRE A VERB OR SUBJECT, BUT NOT

BOTH.

OF LETTERING ASSIGNMENTS CAN BE

THOUGHT OF AS A CHALLENGE TO MASTER

A SYSTEM.

NEATLY UPON THE SHELF AT THE END OF

YOUR TABLE.

#58PASS PAPERS TO THE WINDOW, PLACING

YOURS ON TOP OF THE ONE FROM YOUR RIGHT

SIDE.

HANDOUTS AT YOUR SEAT.
