Starting College Blog

Starting college may be tricky enough even without having to be bothered with getting on your college professor’s bad side. Smart college students soon understand that there exist just certain things on no account to ask.

So, as an ex-Assistant Professor, I know pretty well those little pet hates that make professors right very annoyed. Regrettably, professors never come with any instruction book, as a result, I created “College Success Your Way, What Your Professors Won’t Tell You and Your Friends Don’t Know,” thus, all students are able to know clearly from the start the inside secrets of succeeding in college.

There are a number of “killer questions” by no means to put to your professor. Think very carefully before you ask these people. Although you have the right feelings about it, your irritated professor could hear something entirely different.

1) “Be what time is it due?”

2) “Is it testable?”

3) “I was gone previous lesson. Did I miss something important?”

Let’s get a close look at the reasons why you’ll desire to avoid these inquiries.

“When’s it due?” So, you may just be thinking ahead. However, the lecturer wonders why you can ask anything in your syllabus. So, asking your professor when some sort of things is due is similar to asking where your note pad is. It’s your duty to know it.

“Is this testable?” Well, this seems to be a smart one, doesn’t it? Actually no. It makes professors crazy. Why? So, that’s what the teacher hears when you put such question: “Do I really need to listen at the moment, or can I just zone out once more, because I’m bored incredible, and I’m just taking this class for the reason that there was no solution?”

And finally, never say, “I was gone previous lesson. Did I miss something important?”

This is really a common question which, on the surface, looks harmless enough. But, aren’t you even rather responsible to take notes and ask to check you are missing out no crucial points in your schooling because you weren’t present at the last class?
