The problem that I focused on in the readings was the inefficient communication between student and educator. Limerick and Rubin had similar views that stated it’s not the illegible syllabus that creates confusion; it’s the lack of communication between a student and educator.
Rubin wanted you to know what it was like from the student’s point of view. From the student’s perspective, the syllabus was hard and incomprehensible. Limerick wanted you to know what it was like from an educator’s point of view. Although both give different views, they are giving the same major point, academic discourse. In order for a student to succeed to the best of their abilities, there needs to be a mutual understanding. The mutual understanding needs to be known by both educator and student and as soon as possible. The understanding includes the awareness of the student to be able to ask and receive help from the educator and the awareness of the educator to be asked and give out help to the student.
As hshoenl said in the education class the first thing we were told to do with a new class was to get to know the students. That way the students feel welcomed by you and you also feel welcomed by the students. There is already some respect built into getting to know the students.

i understand and agree that communication with professors is key and when it is damaged causes stress on the student because he/she is not able to perform at a level of understanding for success.
