NO exceptions! IX. Student Teacher Relationship Expectation Declaration: Students are not customers. Teachers are not employees. Students and teachers have obligations to each other. Adopted from Dr. Thomas H. Benton s A Tough-Love Manifesto for Professors, published in The Chronicle of Higher Education ( Friday, June 9, A. This is what I expect from students: You will treat everyone in the class, including the professor, with the respect due to all human beings. You will attend every class, give your full attention to the material, and conduct yourself in an appropriate manner. You will agree to do the work outlined in the syllabus on time. You will acknowledge that previous academic preparation (e.g. writing skills) will affect your performance in this course. You will acknowledge that your perception of effort, by itself, is not enough to justify a distinguished grade. You will not plagiarize or otherwise steal the work of others. You will not make excuses for your failure to do what you ought. You will accept the consequences good and bad of your actions. B. This is what students can expect from me: I will treat you with the respect due to all human beings. I will know your name and treat you as an individual. I will not discriminate against you on the basis of your identity or your well-informed viewpoints. I will manage the class in a professional manner. That may include educating you in appropriate behavior. I will prepare carefully for every class. I will begin and end class on time. I will teach only in areas of my professional expertise. I do not know something, I will say so. I will conduct scholarly research and publication with the aim of making myself a more informed teacher. I will return your assignments quickly with detailed feedback. I will pursue the maximum punishment for plagiarism, cheating, and other violations of academic integrity. I will keep careful records of your attendance, performance, and progress. I will make myself available to you for course advising. I will maintain confidentiality concerning your performance. I will provide you with professional support and write recommendations for you if appropriate. I will be honest with you. Your grade will reflect the quality of your work and nothing else. I am interested in your feedback about the class, but I am more interested in what you learned than how you feel.
