Chapter 2: Advice for Teachers from High School Students

There are a few parts of this chapter that jumped out at me, but the one that jumped out the most is the part where the author talks about what students want to know on the first day of class. Students want to know what the homework load will be like. They want to know what material will be covered, and if the class will be fun or interesting.

What really surprised me about this section is that students are saying this is something they want teachers to do. This makes me think that teachers don’t do this already. It seems strange to me that a teacher would not tell students what the class will be like on the first day. Maybe I have been in college for too long to remember not having this done, but it just seems logical to do this.

4/5 Good QR! You really have this system mastered. I look forward to your QRs on the rest of the chapters. Fix the title and delete the heading as described in the chapter 1 comment.
