[0] Teachers & Faculty [High School] Teachers check your completed homework. Teachers remind you of your incomplete work. Teachers are often available for conversation before, during, or after class. Teachers have been trained in teaching methods to assist imparting knowledge. Teachers provide you with information you missed when you were absent. Teachers present material to help you understand the material in the textbook. Teachers often write information on the board to be copied into your notes. Teachers communicate knowledge and facts, sometimes drawing direct connections and leading you through the thinking process. Teachers often take time to remind you of assignments and due dates. Guiding Principle: High school is a teaching environment in which you acquire facts and skills. [College] 
Instructors may not always check completed homework or even collect it, but they will assume you can perform the same tasks on tests. Instructors may not remind you of incomplete work. Instructors want and expect you to attend their scheduled office hours. Instructors have been trained as experts in their particular area of specialization. Instructors expect you to get from classmates any notes from classes you missed. Instructors may not follow the textbook. Instead, they may give illustrations, provide background information, or discuss research about the topic you are studying. Or, they may expect you to relate the classes to the textbook readings. Instructors may lecture nonstop, expecting you to identify important points in your notes. When professors write on the board it may be to amplify the lecture, not to summarize it. Good notes, and, therefore, good attendance, are a must. Instructors expect you to think about and synthesize (put together) seemingly unrelated topics. Instructors expect you to read, save, and consult the course syllabus (outline); the syllabus spells out exactly what is expected of you, when it's due, and how you will be graded. Guiding Principle: College is a learning environment in which you take responsibility for thinking through and applying what you have learned.
