Like almost all university professors, I provide students with a lecture plan at the beginning of the semester. But I write a lecture plan like a contract. It is divided into sections with provisions. This section describes the various aspects of the class (location, topic list, etc.) in detail, but emphasizes important policies (reviews, test compositions, grade systems, etc.). On page 7, the lecture plan is long. Many policy parts are also replicated in the course shell (online course management system) on the canvas.
Page 7 and Replication are many digital inks leaked to course policies. But in my own personal experience, I find that the benefit is much more expensive. The reason for this rule is simple. Set your expectations. On the first day, students know what to do to pass the class. They know when everything is the deadline. They know what the weight is. They (theoretically) can make a reasonable choice of how to assign time using this information (and it is in it if they are wrongly calculated).
But perhaps more important is this contract between students and students known as the “lecture plan” my possession. It sets students’ expectations for what they can expect. As with most teachers, I have a special power for students (at least for classes). My principle class is general education classes and major classes. If they don’t pass my class, it will be difficult to graduate. In addition, the competition is relatively small (only the other two instructors teach the principle, and only one other teaches the top level economic process). Given this wonderful power, it is my duty to act as fairly as possible. The lecture plan ties my hands from random actions.
One thing I know about myself is that I can act and act in any way. I want to help students. The reaction of my chapter is to exclude this or the exception to the rules if it is helpful to the student. But I know that if I act randomly, I will actually undermine my duty. Students will see this random behavior and change their resources from trying to learn the resources and to mine this loophole. Even students who learn about the materials and do not have the rating for passing naturally. It will create additional tasks for me. At the end of the semester, I will have to submit a rating based on this random whim to registras and universities. The university and the public depended on my expertise, saying, “Yes, John and Jane DOE students have satisfied that they are well aware of the data.” Random behavior undermines its reliability.
Therefore, the reason for the rules is to prevent any action. Even if the rules interfere with the desired results, the rules must be followed even if the temptation to violate the rules is the highest. Once the rules are broken, once a random behavior becomes a standard, the plan makes it very difficult and undermines the goal of action.
In order to go out of the classroom and move to economics, we are cited here because Donald Trump’s random tariff “policy” (“policy” is not consistent, so it is difficult to call it a policy in a reasonable sense.The trump’s laws on tariffs change from time to time to sometimes. As a result, the stock market has been reduced from the beginning of the second semester when I write this. I used my own model using it incorrectly.. Trump and his torture are talking contradictory about Tarif. They are permanent meanings to eliminate trade deficitsor They are temporary and means bringing the state to the negotiation table.or They are permanent and to increase profits. It is difficult to say what the purpose is. Needless to say Legal issues of administration of tariffs.
The predictors are falling as the agreement is reached to the economic downturn in the firm growth. There aren’t many hard data yet, but the initial indicator is that investors withdraw the United States. Companies have spent more and more resources to find exemptions (in the long run break Competitiveness in the world economy). Trump is far from “making the United States greatly.” (Side, I was shocked, Shocked!The market does not respond to economic medicine science since the 1600s.
The rules have a reason: they make it predictable. They allow plans. Like the Great TV Show, when Who is the line anyway?The rules are organized, the point is not important, and people do not know how to act, and the resources are wasted.
Of course, none of them say that the rules should be strong and flexible. Not bending will break. As time changes, the rules can be changed and must be changed. However, there must be a process that can change these rules (rules on the rules if you want). It is essential for reasonable reforms to understand why the rules are in place and the purpose they serve.
