"Alright, let's start by going over Blackboard."
Yes, this is a 300 level class filled with juniors and seniors, but please continue explaining something we've used pretty much every day since the first day of college. Thanks for that.
"Now, let's go around the room and say a fun fact about ourselves."
Don't ask me for a fun fact. It won't be very fun.
"Now for the syllabus: The final will be cumulative."
If I don't hear you say it, it's not true.
"Attendance isn't mandatory..."
Yes!
"...But there will be daily quizzes."
No!
"We'll probably get done early every class period."
"Sometimes class will be optional, but you can still come and hang out."
"We'll go over the homework that's due tomorrow, now."
Wait, what?
"Good luck this semester, you'll need it!"
