Seminar Note:
Always bring your red ball-point pen (red ink) to seminars. If you have one, you can make corrections in your homework as we go over it in class (before you turn it
in at the end of the seminar). You get credit for your corrections. However, you lose credit if you try to complete homework you hadn't done or make the
corrections in the same colored ink or pencil as the original. (We need the two colors so we can get a better idea of how well the homework is going.)
The schedule is generally like this:
Each day of the week (Monday-Friday), you will generally discuss the homework for the relevant chapters for that day. This will include presenting original
examples to the class on transparencies. Don’t worry, you’ll learn to like it. You will also have a quiz on each of the assigned chapters from Principles of
Behavior. To be prepared you will need to achieve fluency with the flash cards related to the chapters for that day.
Sometimes we'll have a lecture during the Seminar, review or work show quizzes, or some other deviation from the schedule, so keep an eye out. We’ll try to
remind you, too.
