Student Responsibilities - what is expected of students in terms of hours, days of the week, shadowing or actual support?

We expect students to show up excited to learn, dressed professionally, on time, and with an open mind. We want students to get as much hands on as possible when appropriate so it is important for then to review the schedule in advance and to study topics when needed.
