Every new student should… Dealing with Professors : College life is never without the interaction between Professors and Students. Whether you like it or not, or whether you like them or not, you all need them. They will be the ones imparting you the knowledge and give you your grades. At one point or another, you will need their attention and help or assistance. It is therefore important to be on the “good side” of the Professor. Dealing with Professors DOs and DON’Ts when dealing with Professors : DOs and DON’Ts when dealing with Professors When in doubt and when there are things you want clarified, don’t hesitate to ask your professors. Don’t be intimidated! There are times when Professors look rude and unapproachable, but if it is really essential that you must speak with them, do so. DOs and DON’Ts when dealing with Professors : DOs and DON’Ts when dealing with Professors Although it is within your right to talk to your Professors, consult them only during your class hours or during their office hours and not while they are holding other classes. Go to their respective offices and inquire about their counseling hours. DOs and DON’Ts when dealing with Professors : DOs and DON’Ts when dealing with Professors Professors must also have their private lives. Don’t call them at home or in their cell phones regarding your grades or anything regarding school business and etc. unless given the permission to do so. Even when given the permission to call them at home, call only during decent hours. DOs and DON’Ts when dealing with Professors : DOs and DON’Ts when dealing with Professors When you come to see them during office hours, come prepared. Don’t waste their time by not talking or expecting them to read your minds. If you want to ask about the lesson, bring your notes and books. If you want to clarify a lot of things, make a list. DOs and DON’Ts when dealing with Professors : DOs and DON’Ts when dealing with Professors When inquiring about grades and scores, ask for your class standing, how you were scored, where you went wrong, where you are good or bad at, and how you can improve your class standing. When failing or failed, never go to beg and grovel that they make you pass when you know your scores and class standing cannot justify your passing the course. Tears are never effective, only passing scores are. DOs and DON’Ts when dealing with Professors : DOs and DON’Ts when dealing with Professors When you have problems in your family, social, and financial life, go to a teacher you trust and like or to the guidance counselor for counseling and inform them about your situation. They may give allowances regarding your decreasing grades, more frequent absences, and missed homework, quizzes, and exams. They may even assist you in your studies so that you can catch up. DOs and DON’Ts when dealing with Professors : DOs and DON’Ts when dealing with Professors Professors are humans too. They get hurt and feel pain. They too have problems and worries. Professors are busy people and have to attend to a great number of people and chores. So, there are times they are stressed-out and exhausted. At these times, they may become somewhat easily irritated and agitated and rude. They will feel angry when students are insulting, stubborn, noisy, not listening during lectures, scores low in quizzes and exams, comes late in class, and etc. DOs and DON’Ts when dealing with Professors : DOs and DON’Ts when dealing with Professors Courtesy never goes out of style and goes a long way. Greet them whenever you cross paths. Assist them when they have a lot to carry. Apologize if you have done something wrong. Say thank you. Be honest. Cheaters are blacklisted. They will see and brand you as such until the day they have Alzheimer's. Talking back when you are right is understandable but talking back when everyone including yourself know you are wrong is unacceptable and appropriate sanctions will be imposed. Students’ Obligations/Duties : Students’ Obligations/Duties Attend class regularly. Follow rules and instructions. Buy your textbooks. If you should photocopy them, photocopy in bulk and have it bound or placed in a binder or folder. Buy notebooks and take down notes. Study and review your notes as often as you can. Students’ Obligations/Duties : Students’ Obligations/Duties Make your assignment or do your homework. Learn how to use the computer (not for gaming). Finish your project as soon as you can. Study often to be prepared for pop quizzes. Study extensively for exams. Participate actively in class. Students’ Obligations/Duties : Students’ Obligations/Duties Secure your course tools. You may buy your own or borrow from family and friends. Scientific Calculator Rulers Pen and Paper Dictionary Stapler, Puncher, Cutter, and etc. Charts and Tables Students’ Obligations/Duties : Students’ Obligations/Duties Sit smart! If you have weak eyes, secure glasses or sit near the front. If you are serious in your studies, sit near the front. Sit where you feel that you are least distracted. Avoid sitting beside chatty classmates and/or avoid being one. Practical Tips for Students : Practical Tips for Students Use binders for notebooks. They are very practical and have already been proven to be very efficient in organizing notes, graded papers, syllabus or additional printed materials, and etc. When making notes and receiving supplementary materials, put the date. Put a name on your books, notebooks, calculators, supplementary materials, and etc. Taking Down Notes : Taking Down Notes Copy everything that is essential which the Professor has written on the board. Write everything that the Professor keeps on mentioning or reiterates. Use a very good pen. One that doesn’t bleed or blot. Use two colors of pen when writing down notes or use a highlighter. Highlight, box, underline, or mark all the important equations, formulas, terms, symbols, and etc. Taking an Exam : Taking an Exam Open Book Familiarize yourself with the book’s table of contents and index. Mark the important entries on where they are found. Put tabs in pages containing tables, graphs, formulas, laws, etc. Closed Book Memorize all formulas, symbols, and constants. Find out if tables, charts, graphs, and etc. will be provided or not. Taking an Exam : Taking an Exam Write your names, schedule, etc. first! Read the instructions. Take a quick inventory. Scan the entire exam. Take note of the type of exams. Multiple-choice, Identification, True or False, Definition, Essay, etc. Identify the questions that are easier to answer and those that are harder. Start with the easier questions before moving to the harder. Taking an Exam : Note for the relative weight of the various problems. Don’t leave the problem with the highest weight for last. Write neatly and clearly. A very organized answer sheet or test paper is easier to review and understand. When it’s a problem that requires calculations, read the problem closely and identify the given and required. Make sure you carry the units. Conversions may be necessary. Taking an Exam Taking an Exam : Draw a good-looking, clear diagram when necessary. Diagrams help you understand and analyze the problem better. Drawing is far better than trying to imagine what it looks like. Never leave a question blank! Most especially in Multiple Choice, True or False, and Matching Type.
