[Nfb-krafters-korner] participation in class

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Participation in the classes that we teach are important.  Students  need 
to have their supplies on hand and work along with the teacher.  It  seems 
like lately folks have been coming to class unprepared and just  listening.
 
Listening to a class if you never took any of our classes before might be  
OK to check out how we do classes, but you really need to have supplies 
ready to  work with during our classes.  It is better to work along with the 
teacher  and ask your questions as they arise.  Our teachers spend their time 
to  prepare for these classes and are ready during the class to answer your  
questions.  The teacher makes time during the week in between the class to  
answer questions when folks post them to the list.  It is also helpful that  
other students can help by explaining the how tos during the class or via 
email  on the list.  Sometimes it takes just another set of words for 
explanation  for the light bulb to shine bright with understanding.
 
These are how our classes have been done from the get go.  It is not  fair 
to our teachers if you don't work along in the class with them.  
 
If you want to chat, that is what the Monday Night Chats are for.  We  also 
do discussions on some of the Monday Nights where there is talks regarding  
different crafting topics and we encourage everyone to add to this 
discussion  with comments and questions.
 
Please consider this when signing up for a class.
