We have a number of auditors and look forward to having them join us. They have much to impart from their life and professional experience.
The
NY Times recently had an informative article about auditing college
courses.
“Older
students audit courses at colleges and universities for many reasons. Some
retirees prefer lecture halls to bingo parlors. Travelers might take history or
geography classes to learn about future vacation destinations. A philosophy
class might help a widow cope with grief.”
We welcome our auditors and would like to briefly mention auditing
etiquette."
Auditing Ground
Rules
Since this college course is mainly for the benefit of the
students taking it for credit, your primary status as an auditor is be aware
of when it is OK to speak up and when you should just listen. Please respect the needs
of students who are taking the class for credit by arriving on time, by paying
attention and not causing distractions, by observing, and in general, by not
contributing. The instructors will allow
you to participate in class under certain circumstances. We recognize that our auditors have much to
share and will facilitate that.
Generally, the instructor will ask your opinion. You may want to speak with, or email, Professor Alecson
before class to suggest something you want to contribute.
