Benjamin, It is easy to overwhelm them at the first class meeting. I spread my expectations out over several class meetings. I start with the most important ones that we will deal with in getting the class started and then add the others later on as we meet. Also, students of all ages have selective memories so they may have been told something but they will claim they never were told. I call this the Bermuda Triangle of Memory. Where announcements and important information goes to never be recalled again. So I repeat the information several times until they start to recall it and see the value of why I shared it in the first place. Gary Gary Gary Meers, Ed.D.
