Do you think it's fair when professors don't give reviews for exams?

Reviews are nice, but infrequent. Study with friends, talk to the prof, study and go to class regularly so you know what the teacher has been talking about. Go back and read the syllabus so you make sure you are on track.

This way they can gauge if they are giving you enough information or not enough in their classes.  In university it could be to check what the students thought the class was about.  The course blurbs sometime don't get across what specifically the class is focusing on and if your expectations are wildly different, the professor can tell you and potentially save you $ on a class you'll hate!

I have had a myspace before and currently my brother has one and I was messing around on it one day where you can grade your professors.. But the thing is its your opinion and you can say what you want.. They cant base anything on you but if you say something disrespectful about the school they could..

In defence of the Arts, I'll pretend you asked, "Is academia about research or protecting the reputation of the Professors?"\n\nDepends on the institute. If it's of a professional standard and publishing regularly, then regardless of what the professors would have their students and subordinates do, external critics from other institutes will waste no mercy on poor quality research.

Well you HAVE to see the results one day or another, make sure of the answers, sometimes Professors make mistakes on grading, sometimes their Teacher Assistant grades them so they might have mistaken. if its a good grade, that's really good, if not, talk to your professor how can you dramatically bring up your grade, ask for some extra credit if that's possible.

I have my attendance policy written on all of my syllabi.   Most of my colleagues do as well.  Usually, there are consequences for missing more than three classes, but these consequences vary from professor to professor.  In my classes, grades begin to drop after three unexcused absences.\n\nHowever, some professors run their classes in such a way that absences do not impact students' grades.  Professors who have classes like this usually believe that it is a student's responsibility to engage with the material, and if they do not, it is the student's loss, and not the professor's concern.\n\nEvery professor I know believes that it is rude and disruptive when students leave class early.   Although I've never failed a student for this, my attitude toward them is certainly affected by their disrespectful behavior.   I'd be much less likely to extend myself to help, or to accept the excuses of a student who regularly demonstrates that they do not respect my life's work.  \n\nWhen students need to leave class early for important appointments (medical or otherwise), or will be missing a class for specific reasons, they usually contact me beforehand and let me know.  When they demonstrate both good manners and a sense of adult responsibility by doing this, I am completely understanding, and am not at all offended.

This happens at the end of most courses at most institutions. It allows the examiners a chance to talk informally to the students themselves - usually exam marks and lecturers are the buffer between the two. It's certainly nothing to worry about & I doubt they will ask technical questions about your course! As I understand it they will usually pick a cross-section of "typical" (haha!) students that are firmly within grade boundaries rather than interrogating those on the borderlines, although as suggested it may well be they choose some based on excellent results. Any which way, the aim is to maintain the standard of degree courses, and thus the value of your degree.

I would probably trust him. Professors tend to be pretty harmless, even the more adventurous types. I would keep and eye on him and bash his head in if it is really necessary.

It's called tenure and teachers also have to go through a performance review by their supervisors, other teachers, and students.  It is still in effect to my knowledge, mostly at colleges and universities.

Without reading your review, we have no clue why they gave you a violation.  If your review didn't contain any words that are a violation, then you might have a case.  But again, without reading your review, we don't have a clue.\n\nBut hopefully, you feel better after your rant.

It depends on the class. If the class has a lab and the information that comes from that reflects the labs results then you should be there.\nOn the other hand you are the one paying for the class what does the Prof. care whether you are there or not.\nMy husband was a Prof. at a major university and he did mark you down for not being there because he figured you took the class for a reason and how are you going to learn if you are not there for lecture especailly if it a class that is based on lecture.\n\ngood luck: you can argue both ways and loose

Any that don't give correct guidance to their students

Yes, you have to provide names of people you believe are knowlegable in the field and would give an unbiased and critical review of your paper. You probably don't want somebody you know too well. Consider people from your list of references.

I am in the early stages of starting with someone in your position, she told me that she wanted to wait untill she finished her exams. Becasue I want it to work with her I accept this and am happy to wait. Talk to him, if he cant accept that your exams are important hes not worth your effort.

Sorry, it sounds as if your teacher is being completely fair in this regard. It would have been different if your teacher had refused to accept your test, which he could have done.

Well, here's my advice. Don't lie, be honest and make it short. Take responsibility, but ask if there is any way that you can submit your paper late, with appropriate grade adjustments. Professors can see through lies and laziness and irresponsibility - they get the same requests every day from other students. It's actually better to meet them in office hours - email is not good

I think the prof is trying to keep you from monopolizing class time.  Did it ever occur to you that the other students in the class aren't interested in watching videos and reading articles that you select?  If you really want to promote your ideas, write a big note on the chalk board saying that you'd like to organize a class discussion group where people can discuss the issues further.  Then, if the discussion group is interested, they can watch the videos and read the articles that you think are important (and you have to reciprocate).  Your prof might even decide to come along.  However, I'm sure your prof and the other students would prefer to use class time to address the issues that will appear on the final exam and that the course was designed to teach.
