Should I even be taking this course? Is this course going to be hard? Is this course going to be interesting? Are you a hard grader? Are you a fair grader? Will you be available to answer my questions? What grade can I expect in this class?
Do I need to buy the text? Can I use an old edition of the text? Do I need a calculator for this course? Do I need to know how to use Excel (or some other spreadsheet program)? I didn’t get a copy of the syllabus (or other document).
When are your office hours? Where is your office? Why didn’t you respond to my e-mail? I had questions, but I didn’t want to bother you. Is there a tutor for this course?
I didn’t know we had a homework assignment/exam. When is our next exam? Do we have class? What material will we cover on a given day? Can I reschedule my final exam?
Do you mind if my homework isn’t stapled or if I hand in electronic assignments on paper? Will this be on the test? What material is covered on the exam? How should I study for the exam? I missed an exam, can I make it up? I’m not a good test taker. I understand the material, I just can’t answer the exam questions. Why do your multiple choice questions always include “None of the above?” On exams, why do deduct a fraction of a point for each incorrect answer? I still don’t understand how you grade exams. Continuing with the previous question, should I guess on exams?
I understand the material when you go over it in class, I just can’t answer the exam questions. What are the chances of my earning an A/B/C in this course? What do I need to earn on the final to earn an A/B/C in the course? Do you curve exam grades? Why did you give me a C/D/F in the course? Can I do extra work to improve my grade? Will you give me an extra half-point (one point, etc.) to bump me to the next letter grade? Can I take an “incomplete” in the course? How do you grade our homework assignments? What can I do to earn a better grade in your course? Will you e-mail me my course and/or final exam grade? |
