How To Get On Your Professor’s Good Side by mahxiimus(m): 8:20pm On Oct 19, 2014
Welcome to university. If you’re smart, you’ll start kissing ass
immediately. No, I don’t mean that in a sexual way, you dog, you.
I mean start making your professors like you. Even if you’re a
shitty student and don’t know what you’re doing in class, getting
on the professor’s good side is key.
GETTING ON THE GOOD SIDE
It’s no secret that being all buddy-buddy with your professor can
go a long way. Getting on their good side can be as easy as your
mom or as hard as replicating Mr. White’s meth. All jokes aside,
this shit is important. Don’t just be another bum in the back of the
lecture hall.
GO UNDER THE RADAR
Unless you want to be the one who everyone gives the stink eye to,
you don’t want to make it known that you and the professor are
like this *crosses fingers*. If word gets out, you’ll be labeled as
the teachers pet. Don’t blow your cover, idiot.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE TRY
There’s nothing a professor hates more than a lazy student. I know
what you’re thinking— “but Dan, I’M a lazy student!” We all are.
We wake up late, leave papers for the last minute, and sometimes
even forget to eat. As long as we can give the professor the illusion
that we aren’t lazy, we’ll be in good shape.
TALK LIKE MAMA TAUGHT YA
“You hear me, boy? Use your manners.” Yeah. Say thank you
whenever the professor answers one of your questions, hands you
back a paper, or pretty much anything he does. If he sneezes, you
say thank you. He punches you in the mouth? You say thank you.
PAY A VISIT
The single easiest and most direct way to get on a professor’s good
side is by taking advantage of their office hours. If you go to a
small enough school, they’ll know you by name after your first
visit. If you go to a larger school, you’ll really have to put in some
time. Go to ask questions on stuff you don’t know. If you know
everything, just lie and say you don’t understand something. Go.
To. Their. Office.
CUT THE BULL
Professors also hate people who make excuses. If you f*ck up, have
the decency to admit that it was your fault. Don’t blame your
crumby performance on the professor or your cat that got sick at
2AM. Take responsibility for your actions.
