4 Things Professors Do That Make You Angry
Odyssey

In college today, we have really good and really smart professors. We all go through the ones that really aren't good at the material. We all wish we could teach that certain material because we know that professor isn't explaining it well enough. But this is not what this article is about, but instead, this article is about what both the good ones and bad ones do what we hate. These things four will have you have you asking your professors why do they do this.

1. When they tell you to get textbooks, but you really don't need them:

When professors tell us we will need a book, and then we don't use it but one time the whole semester. I don't understand why they make us waste $300 dollars on a book we barely even use. If they would have told us we were barely using the book, I would have never bought the book. They don't understand that a book really does cost a arm and a leg. I think it would be very beneficial if they would tell us if we need it or if we are learning from the book or not. It would save us a whole lot of stress.

2. The professor who never posts notes online:

I really don't like when teacher doesn't post their notes online. I really feel like for some students, especially me, it's better to watch them talk and write stuff on the board to better understand. Plus I feel like they are really wanting the student to learn their way, but not their own ways, which isn't far at all.

3. The professor who doesn't allow note taking electronics in class:

I really think this one really depends on a person and how they learn. If the person is a great learner that way, let them do it. But if that one person gets distracted by them, don't take it away from the class altogether. In today's society, we learn with electronics in many different ways like: social media, google, etc. So why not let us use electronics??

4. The one who never grades your exams on time:

This is really one of the worst things that many professors suck at. I don't really know why they suck at it... they just do. I guess they feel that turning in their grades late will help a student. Which it will not because they wanna know if they need to drop the class or what they need to do to help their grades get better the next time.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
