They are good general questions.  Ask her about her experiences teaching the class too.  Try to start more of the questions without the word "what" at the beginning.\n\nHow is this class unique?\nName some interesting features of this class?\nIs there something specific that you think attracts students to this class?  \nDescribe your favorite assignment in this class and some past good experiences please. \nWhy should students take this class?

College professors don't babysit students like high school teachers do.  They expect you to keep up with the work and go to class without being reminded all the time.  You'll study a lot more.

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

Yes.  As a matter of fact, I am inclined to believe that the problem at hand is due to a lack of connectivity between college teachers and students.  Many college teachers are haughty and completely forget about how it feels to be in a classroom full of their arrogance.

They are handy when you cannot fit a class you need into your schedule.  I had to make up one credit to get my degree and I needed a history/geography class.  The distance education/internet class I took was great.  I could fit the work into my existing schedule, didn't have to go to class, had an open book exam, and had to contribute to a few online chat rooms every so often.  Plus you could email the prof anytime if you had questions.

try looking for contact numbers of your classmates on that suject or maybe try contacting your professor and ask him if you can hae anoter copy sent to you through mail or e-mail... you just hae to burden the fees... it's possible i think, you can give it a try right?

That depends on the professor.  Some take attendance and some don't.  You just need to know what is required for that particular class and maintain.\n\nBest Wishes,\n\nSue

You mean you want to write one?\n\nTry looking for examples from people who are in a field similar to yours, and imitate the format and style.  You can ask your professors, for example.

OH MAN GO AND INTERACT WITH UR LECTURERS \n\nCHEERS

Over the entirety of my career thus far, I have taught at four colleges, interviewed at seven, and visited dozens more.  Not ONE has had such a thing.  \n\nProfessors *within* a department have faculty meetings (often weekly), usually in a classroom or seminar room convenient to their offices.  Sometimes, one professor (usually the department chair) has a larger office, and sometimes a few professors end up in there during the chair's office hours just chatting.\n\nThe only places for faculty members to meet with faculty *outside* their department are at social occasions, at lectures, at dinners (usually held and funded by some university administrators), or at seminars designed by the university's administration to be interdepartmental.\n\nLet me give you some quick examples.\nI see the other members of my department on a daily basis, sometimes in the department office while we're xeroxing things, checking our mailboxes, or waiting to speak with the administrative assistants.  Sometimes, at random times during the week, two or three of us end up talking to our department chair in her office.\n\nI meet weekly with all members of my department in faculty meetings in a seminar room in our building.\n\nI meet every other week with a group of faculty from lots of different departments in what is called a "Faculty Learning Community," which is a group funded by the administration.  There are about 10 of us, all from different areas of the university.  We are all volunteers, and we gather to work on a project of benefit to the university.\n\nIf this helps, I hope to get a gig as a consultant when your film is produced by a major studio!\n\nBest wishes.

Whenever I am procrastinating (which is more frequently than I would care to admit) I find it best to take the easiest, least drudge-like task and tackle it first. So start with an outline to the papers, write your name, your professors name leave a blank for the title, Section it off into sections reading "thesis statement", introductory paragraph etc. It' sjust easier that way. Ok, this said, I will now get a start on my two papers that are due on Thursday! Thanks for the reminder. (And by the way your thoughts aren't useless :)

professors are too lazy to make new exams\n  (or not paid enough)\nstudents are too lazy to learn the material\n  (and they have no other excuse)\ngovernment too lazy to intervene\n (or too busy with other matters)

I'm a professor and I read it.  Most professors know about it.\n\nIs it worth a post?  Who knows.  My students tell me that they often consult it when they are choosing between course sections taught by several different professors and they want some guidance about which to choose.\n\nThey have also told me that the students who post on the site are usually highly emotionally motivated (either positively or negatively), so the posts are often extreme in one direction or the other.

I have this problem so bad that I had a college professor tell me that  he would look at me to see if he was making his point. Told me he could always tell what I was getting it or if he wanted a debate whether I was game. I also notice when at meetings often I am the one the speaker looks at when that ask "Any questions?"

give the professor exactly what they ask for...  don't be afraid to ask questions to make sure you know what they want
