Trust
Ø ...the cornerstone of this class.
1. We’re going to create a writing community in
this class, and here’s what you have to do to make that happen:
a. Be trustworthy.
b. Read people’s work with
respect.
c. Listen to people’s ideas
with respect.
d. Keep what you hear in this
class, in this class—don’t betray someone’s trust.
e. Turn in only work you
yourself have created.
f. Read people’s work
the way you want yours to be read—thoroughly, thoughtfully, and honestly.
g. Put yourself on a
five-second delay. Instead of blurting something out, wait, count to
five, and ask yourself, “Is this respectful?” If not, don’t say it.
h. Be respectful.
i. If
you are rude to another person, you’ll be out of class for a day.
ii. If
it happens a second time, you will most likely be out of class for good.
iii. Bottom
line—if you’re disrespectful to each other, this class doesn’t
work. And this is a required class for graduation—so it has to work.
