In college, professors can make or break a class. You can have a super interesting class with a boring professor. Or, you can have a super boring class with an interesting professor.

A bad professor can make you hate a subject. And a good professor can make you like a subject. Professors have more influence on our education than students realize, and sometimes there are certain phrases that professors say that students really get tired of hearing all the time.

1. "Put your cell phone and all electronics up during class."

Look, I pay for this class. I pay your salary. If I want to check my phone or send an email, I will.

2. "Stop packing up-we're not finished yet."

Okay, Debra. The class ends at 9:55, and it's 9:54. You don't have to deal with the mad rush of exiting the room when you end class like we do.

3. "Have your book by the next class."

If you order your book online rather than purchase it from the super expensive campus bookstore, you get my pain here knowing the book may not show up for the next class.

4. "Expect a quiz when we return from fall break/Thanksgiving break/Spring Break."

What's the purpose of having a break then?

5. "Take it up with the TA."

Most teaching assistants, in my experience, are not to be trusted. That's why I go straight to the professor when it comes to grades because how do I know if Steve will actually pass my concern along?

6. "Tell me what could be more important than this class."

Sleep, work, other classes, my mental health, etc.

7. "Get with a partner or group for this next assignment."

NO. GROUP WORK SUCKS AND YOU KNOW IT.

8. "If someone doesn't raise their hand, I'm going to start calling on people."

Give us a break, dude. If we wanted to speak up in class, we would. Please stop putting us shy people in that situation.

9. "It's in the book. If you read it, you would know."

William, I do not have time to read through a 600-page textbook to look for the super specific, almost irrelevant answer you are looking for about the prison conditions during the post-French Revolution era.

10. "I don't believe in grading curves."

Susan, when 90% of your class is failing and you're not tenured, I advise you to consider a grading curve. Help me help you.

11. "I'm tenured."

Que the pajamas, PowerPoint lectures, hungover, super politically incorrect professor who shows up 15 minutes late.

12. "I go by Dr. _____, not professor or Ms./Mrs./Mr."

Uhm, but you don't have a Ph.D.?

13. "Apparently no one did the reading that was assigned."

Again, Brad, you assign whole books for each class.

14. "Class is canceled because (insert crazy long personal reason that no one cares about.)"

Sorry, but no one cares if you have the flu, your kid has a game, or if your car broke down. All students pay attention to are those three little words: "Class is canceled."

If I had a dollar for every time I heard these from professors, I'd have enough to pay off my student debt already!
