Syllabus week for some is a time of partying and not having a care in the world for the first week after winter break. For me, not so much.
1. "Attendance is mandatory."
Sure I'll go to class most of the time, but that one time I really don't feel like going you're going to take 5 points off my final grade? Jerk.
2. “Please read pages 12-37 for class on Thursday.”
It's? Syllabus? Week?
3. “Let's go around the room and everyone can share something about themselves!”
Or not.
4. When you're in the same class as your friend and after reviewing the syllabus they say “it doesn't look like a difficult class” and you were considering dropping it after seeing there's seven tests.
Did you not see what I saw?!
5. That one class that requires six textbooks.
Who has the time and or money?
6. When you were online shopping the first day of class because you were tired of your professor talking about themself and then the next class they say “take out the homework.”
Oopsies. Must of missed that, was that on the syllabus?
7. Walking to your 8AM when it is -9 out, only to be told to leave after 20 minutes because the professor is done going over the syllabus.
You made me wake up for THIS?
8. When the professor attempts to make a funny joke as the opener.
If I have to listen to these dry jokes all semester I might as well drop the class now.
9. Sitting in the class that is for your major and falling asleep because it is so beyond boring. Oh yeah and it's only week one.
Yeah….. might have to make a career switch.
