• Reading the syllabus
  The course syllabus is your roadmap to the semester; you will obtain one syllabus for each course you are registered for. You should expect to get the syllabus from your instructor during the first week of classes. A syllabus includes:
  • Learning Outcomes – what you are expected to learn from the course.
  • Attendance Policy – each instructor has the right to develop his/her own attendance policy.
  • Grading System
  • Required Course Materials – not just books, you may also be required to read articles, websites, magazines, or other related material.
  • Tentative Course Outline – the instructor has the right to change this outline at any time.
  • Instructor's office hours and contact information.
• Completing homework
  
• Class participation

Instructors generally expect:

• For students to understand all assignments, even assignments that aren't covered in class. Every assignment is a possible exam question; if you don't understand an assignment and it's not covered in class, be sure to talk with your instructor to make sure you understand every assignment.
• That students will think critically and independently - develop your own opinions and be able to communicate your thoughts in an educated, respectable manner; don't simply regurgitate thoughts.

Time management … learn it, live it. Use a planner, if you don’t already. Remember, section one of the KCC Student Handbook is a planner. Create a support system: be aware of campus resources; discuss your education with family and friends

Change your behavior or learn to manage it. Minimize procrastination Find your ideal study location (try studying on campus) Communicate: let your instructors know when/if you’re feeling overwhelmed.
