Knowledge Hunters
Conspiracy Theorists
“The class work did consume a lot of my time, but in return, there was a lot that I learned.” These are the students who are genuinely interested in the class material. These students don’t mind doing homework because they want to know what it’s all about so they can move on to learning the next thing.
“I think his personal views of students bias his grading technique. This should have been an easy 4.0-He marks you down in whatever he can, with no real explanation.” Students in this group always think the teacher has it out for them. These students think professors have personal vendettas against them, and if it weren’t for that, they would be getting a 4.0.
The Realist
Teacher’s Pet
“If you do the reading before class as he assigns, what he goes over in class makes a lot of sense. But if you don’t, it’s easy to get lost by how he handles class time.” This is a student who knows when a class is going to have a heavy workload and is prepared to take it on. These students are also prepared to suffer the consequences behind not meeting the course requirements.
“Easily the greatest teacher I have ever had. His lectures are legitimately interesting and you learn so much. I have learned more things of worth in his classes than the rest of college combined.” This is the kid in class who is always trying to get on the teacher’s good side. You can often spot a Teacher’s Pet staying unnecessarily late after class.
Glass Half Empty Students
Students with Adjusted Priorities
“I hated her class. I did all right, but I went as little as possible. Avoid her if you can.” This student doesn’t like anything about the class: the teacher, classroom, time of the class. This person probably doesn’t even like the class going on next door.
“I saw him at Safeway one night buying a bag of craisins and a six pack of tall cans, nuff said.” These students recognize a similarity between themselves and their professor, and respect the hell out of them for it. This particular student and professor apparently share an infatuation with beer and craisins—nuff said.
