What are all these papers you gave me?

On the first day of class, you should have received THREE things:

1. A copy of the course syllabus (white)
   
2. A copy of the 101 survey (colored paper)
   
3. A copy of the Confidential Student Information Sheet 
   

THE SURVEY

• Please fill out the survey before class on Wednesday.  Bring it with you to class.
  
• Do not put your name on the survey--it is supposed to be anonymous.
  
• There are some personal questions on there--I ask them to provide for some sociological data analysis we will be doing in class.
  

THE CONFIDENTIAL STUDENT INFORMATION SHEET

• Fill this out with a pen.  Then take it--and your student ID card--to a photocopy machine.
  
• Place your ID in the box, and photocopy it.
  
• Once you do that, you will have two copies: one with your photo, one without.
  
• Bring both to your discussion section this week.
  
• Once you do that, you will be able to get grades in this class.
  
• And, if you turn in your sheet in this week's discussion section, you will get one point of extra credit.
  

THE SYLLABUS

• As many of you know by now (or will soon find out), you will get one of these in just about every class you attend at WSU.
  
• The syllabus constitutes a contract between the professor and student.
  
• When we talk about a syllabus, we're talking about: what you ought to expect from us, and what we will expect from you.
• You should always read over your syllabus carefully, as it contains information that turns out to be really important!
  
• Hardly any professor will be sympathetic to students who say they didn't know some important fact because didn't read the syllabus.
