The first day of class is already stressful enough and most of us try to go out of our way to avoid getting bad professors, but sometimes it’s just unavoidable.
We all eventually have those professors that just go the extra distance to be annoying. Here are a few quotes some of us might hear the first day of class that can inevitably get under our skin as hard working college students.
1. “Tell everyone your major, where you’re from, and a fun fact about yourself."
I never really know what professors are trying to accomplish when they do this. Let's save everyone some time and awkwardness and move on to the next subject.
2. "You may refer to me as DOCTOR.”
I just have one question for professors who feel the need to emphasize this so much: who hurt you?
3. "My exams are all fill in the blank and short answer; no multiple choice or word bank.”
Okay, Barbra. You have officially gone out of your way to make everyone's life harder, and for that, you are now the bane of my existence.
4. “I don’t like to use Blackboard.”
Professors who do this are usually ancient and don't want to learn how to use technology and I've come across plenty.
In their laziness, no one knows how bad or well they're doing in the class, and we all just have to hope for the best. They are also unknowingly making life harder for themselves.
5. "We don’t use the book, but it’s a good idea to go ahead and purchase it.”
Lolololol. I'm in the process of taking on tens of thousands of dollars worth of debt. If I don't have to purchase your useless $200 textbook, I'm not.
6. "There’s a project at the end of the semester, and you should start on it now.”
Someone needs to go ahead and inform our instructors that not a single student is going to start on an assignment right away that we have around 3 to 4 months to finish.
7. "This is going to be a group project.”
WHY MUST YOU FORCE ME TO BE SOCIAL.
8. "You have to buy your own scantron.”
Maybe I'm being picky over 50 cent scantrons, but after all of the money we spend and crazy fees we pay, you would think we wouldn't have to actually PAY just to take the exam.
9. "I better not see anyone texting or using any electronic devices.”
Sorry that you're bitter and stuck in the stone ages Sharon. We're all adults here, let us be.
10. "Since it’s the first day of class, we’ll get out early.”
*gets out 5 minutes before class ends*
How some people can talk out of their rear-ends for such a long period of time, I will never know. Just know if a professor ever says this, don't get your hopes up too high.
