9. Faculty Work Group Task Force Recommendation: Personal appeal to students from the college president • Check prerequisites for your classes. • Check the class schedule. If you have not met a prerequisite for your class, you will need to do so before taking the course. • If you are on a waitlist, attend the first class meeting. • If you do not attend, you will lose the opportunity to add the class. • Drop a class if you decide not to attend. • Go to eServices to drop your class within the first two weeks to avoid receiving a “W” grade on your transcripts.

Self-fulfilling Prophecy:Pygmalion Effect • Consciously or not we tip people off as to what our expectations are. • We exhibit thousands of cues, some as subtle as the tilting of heads, raising of eye brows or dilation of nostrils, but most are much more obvious. • And people pick up on those cues.
