- The learning is ultimately yours.
- I have a plan for what you will learn, but I invite you to share other ideas, questions, and resources.
- It is ok if your learning takes you in more directions than I have listed in the learning outcomes.
- Failure is an important part of learning. What you do after any failure is critical to your learning journey.
- Every class is diverse and brings a wide variety of experiences and perspectives. These matter.
- I have carefully selected materials that I believe will help you learn. I know that you will learn. The meaning, direction, magnitude, use of that learning, however, will emerge in ways that resist our ability to predict.
- I care deeply about fostering the best opportunities I can for you to learn for yourselves.
- I am still learning and I learn from my students in every class that I teach.
- Education is more than the transfer of information.
- I believe in students. I trust you and hope that you will trust me.
