Unless you want to hear my rant stop reading now.

Full Disclaimer: This is my own personal opinion about why I feel we, as students, can't blame a teacher or Professor for us failing a class.

As a full-time student for the 13 years, I have learned a few things. The first being that we need to take some responsibility for our own successes and failures. You have to own your actions. And as an 18-year-old college student, people are LITERALLY paying THOUSANDS of dollars for me to get an education. And it is MY JOB to make those dollars worth it.

Yes, I have/ have had Professors I don't like, and think shouldn't teach.

But, those Professors know a lot more than I do about what we are studying. Most of them even do research in their respective fields. Understandably, them teaching a 100 level class, is like us going back to grade school. It's kinda a joke. And we need to respect that fact that not all Professors like teaching entry-level classes!

It's their job to provide us with the material.

It's our job to learn it.

I am so sick and tired of hearing students say that they failed a class because they had a bad Professor. I had a D in a class at midterms, and because I TOOK RESPONSIBILITY for myself in class I now have an A and will finish the semester with an A on my transcript. I WILL NOT recommend this Professor to anyone else. I did rate him poorly. But, I got an A in his class because I sat down, shut up, and started doing what I needed to do to improve my grade. In life, not everyone we work with or for will be amazing, and as young adults, we need to take control and responsibility for ourselves.

We are adults.

And we need to start acting like we are ready to take on the real world, and in the real world no one holds your hand and walks you through. Sorry, not sorry.
