Classroom Dos and Don'ts

Posted by: B

In honor of the start of the Spring semester a Classroom Don't.

Don't talk back to a professor.

While most of you may read that statement and reply "DUH!" unfortunately not everyone follows that piece of advice.

Case in point: B's classmate was asked by a professor to close his laptop (it's kind of a class rule not to have a laptop on, open or even out on the desk during class). The student, instead of dutifully shutting it laptop and/or turning it off, responded that he would prefer to keep it open and on during class. The professor told the student he would see him after class.

Next week, the student did not have the laptop up.

Point of the story: Be respectful to your professors. If you professor asks you do to something, do it. Whatever you do don't talk back it will just put you in a bad light when it comes to the professor's opinion of you.
