1. Write so that you nor your teacher can
read your writing. Be sure to use an ink pen instead of a pencil.
2. Save your paper by excluding the setup on the problems. Don't
show unit cancellations and conversions.
3. Don't have your book and notebook with you. Leave the book
in the locker, at home, your car, or at a friend's house.
4. Ignore the homework. Don't worry about homework. Don't practice
problems. Just ignore the supplemental problems and questions
at the end of each chapter.
5. Don't keep your notebook up-to-date.
6. Take advantage of the opportunity to go on as many sports trips,
field trips, band trips, ski trips, and other trips as possible.
7. Ignore the significant digits!! Don't worry about how many
digits are suppose to be in the answer.
8. Procrastinate. Don't allow a deadline to influence you.
9. Don't study each day. Don't review. Don't read your text prior
to and after class discussions.
10. Assume this class will be as simple or as easy as the other
classes you made an A or B in.
11. Don't bring a scientific calculator to class. Don't bother
learning how to use a scientific calculator.
12. Don't pay attention all the time. Allow your mind to drift during classs. Just pretend to pay attention.
13. Don't follow directions and recommendations.
14. Blame others when you are having difficulty.
Refuse to accept responsibility for your own actions and serenity.
