What do students expect of an SWS course?
Who really knows what students expect? Faculty are the last to know. We can only surmise what their expectations might be. Some students come to SWS classes expecting more writing assignments; others expect more help with their writing. Some are completely oblivious of the fact the class is SWS. There’s no knowing ahead of time. Ask your students, that will give you a better idea of their expectations than any FAQ. And remember that how you describe the course, in your syllabus and in your first comments to the class, will have more to do with student expectations in the class than any preconceived notions they bring with them.
