• Student life at American universities is chaotic during the first week
of each quarter or semester.
• Professors may establish social relationships with students outside of the classroom, but
in the classroom, they maintain the instructor's role
For Instance;
1. A lecturer may have coffee one day with students but the next day expect them to meet
a deadline for the submission of a paper or to be 5 prepared for a discussion or an exam.
2. The lecturer may give extra attention outside of class to a student in need of help but
probably will not treat him or her differently when it comes to evaluating school-work.
3. Lecturers have several roles in relation to students; they may be counsellors and friends
as well as teachers.
