List of Grievances So Far

Next semester, I'll make sure to point out each of these at the very beginning.

The Undergrad's Survival Guide to OCNG 252

1) Read the directions and the questions carefully.

2) Lab forms will be written in pencil. I will not waste my time trying to decipher chicken scribble scratch in pen.

3) If I can't read your answer, it will be marked wrong.

4) Connect your dots on your line graphs.

5) Do not make a line graph on what should be a bar graph.

6) When asked "why?" or "justify your answer" or "explain," one word answers are not sufficient.

7) When asked to interpret a graph, don't answer "it starts off really steep and levels out" or "the relationship is not linear because the graph is curved" or "it looks like a roller coaster. Woo!" (yes, the last one I did actually get as an answer).

8) This is not a blow off class. You will need to use your thinking cap.

9) Material builds on what we've learned previously. Take the time to understand the concepts being taught to you.

10) Write in complete, grammatically correct sentences. If I have to spend more than a minute trying to understand what you're trying to say, it will be marked wrong.

11) Before you ask a question, try to find your answer in the lab manual first.




Eleven things easy peasy. Right?

RIGHT????
