In the second chapter of Fires in the Bathroom, it is encouraged that teachers tell their students what to expect from the class in the beginning. The students want to know how they will be graded and what will be expected of them. They also say that they want to be informed of what kinds of things they will be doing in the class, as well as projects and homework that they will be expected to do.
When reading this section, it struck me how helpful it is for the students to know what to expect in a specific class. I appreciate it when I know ahead of time what I will have to do and how I will be graded. While I recognize that not all students need to have the schedule set in front of them, there will be those that like to know. The more upfront I am with my students in giving them the information they need to succeed in my class, the easier it will be for them to accomplish what is required.
