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. 1 Like |
