Professors: who are these people, and how should students relate to them? Here are some articles to help you out..

This is too bad, because students spend an awful lot of time in the classroom, and it's the professor who controls the grade book. So, here's some insight into your professors, including what professors are looking for, and which ones to avoid.

Olga :
I began teaching business courses as an adjunct faculty member at the Northern Virginia Community College in 1976. Since then I have had teaching stints at the Los Angeles City College, the U S Naval Academy and Strayer University Online (from which I retired in mid-2006).

Nothing pleases an instructor more than to have students who take their schoolwork seriously and who try to do a good job. Contrarily, nothing enrages an instructor more than a student who misses classes, who does not do assignments on time, who does not proofread his/her work or who gives him "attitude" over grades.

Which category are you in? Your college experience can be beneficial or a royal pain, depending on YOU!
