Don’t lose perspective – stay focused on the big picture. • One data point (e.g. test score) will NOT determine your final grade. • Your grade in this class is more a result of your behavior and the choices you make during the semester than intelligence or ability. • Understand how to get the grade you want • Come to EVERY class PREPARED • Don’t quit • Get help EARLY • Hold YOURSELF accountable for results • NEVER CHEAT • Everyone who WANTS to pass this class will, if they consistently make the right choices.

  9. R. Quinn (1996) Deep Change • Excellence is a form of deviance. If you perform beyond the norms, you will disrupt all the existing control systems. Those systems will then alter and begin to work to routinize your efforts. That is, the systems will adjust and try to make you normal. The way to achieve and maintain excellence is to deviate from the norms. You become excellent because you are doing things normal people do not want to do. You become excellent by choosing a path that is risky and painful, a path that is not appealing to others. (p. 176, emphasis added).
