My Expectations.

A student in American Lit is expected to be very attentive, have good work habits, and to be respectful. If a student does not pay attention in class then it could wreck the chances of passing the class. Being attentive is also very important for class work. The homework can maybe prepare a student later on in the school year. Understanding the material is always an important thing. Being able to understand would make the class work and homework much easier. Writing everything the teacher has on the board is a good thing to do. The information can be used to help with many of the class assignments or on tests.

Having good work habits is also important. Always finishing the homework cannot affect your grade as not doing the homework can. Also trying to actually get all of the requested work done before the day it is due will help also with the student’s grade. Another thing to do is to not wait until late hours to start the homework. If the student does not start until late then it may not get finished. Staying focused can also help a student to become less distracted which can help with studying. Studying many days prior to a test or quiz can help one ace the exam. Studying the night before will do the exact opposite. Being organized can help because things could not get lost and keep everything up to date. Not being organized can affect a certain thing being taught because that information that is needed is not there.

Being respectful for other students and the teacher are other things to achieve as an American Lit student. If the student is being disrespectful to the other students then those students would not get some information the teacher says. Not being respectful to the teacher can waste time in class along with other student’s time. Wasting class time can cause less time to learn the material. If a student is constantly being disrespectful then people would start to look down on that person. If one distracts another student by talking, it can hurt both of the students’ ability to get caught up. That can cause the students to start to fall behind in the class which can result in a bad grade for the semester or even the year.
