B. What are expectations/characteristics are for this group at TA. By this I mean, how do we expect them to look, sound, act, think, and be like. What are the stereotypes attached to this group? You should make sure to include both positive and negative expectations, characteristics, and stereotypes. C.

What expectations/stereotypes do they have for students in that category? Record their answers. (your project should include these direct quotes) D.
