As you read this week’s assignments, examine your own beliefs about the student–faculty relationship and discuss the effects that your beliefs and practices may have on the teaching–learning process, the academic performance of your students, and your students’ behavior. What are your beliefs about interactions with students who are failing? How do you (or will you) deal with issues related to student misconduct and academic dishonesty? What are your thoughts related to managing honor code violations and substance abuse problems? How do your responses to these questions correlate with your personal teaching philosophy?
