If you thought high school was bad for its wide variety of teachers, wait until you meet your college professors. While there are MANY types of college professors out there in the world, here are five of the main types of professors you'll most likely have as a freshman:
1. The one that doesn't care
This is the type of professor that teaches a blow off class and knows it. They will tell you that they honestly don't care if you come to class or not and are known for spending 25% of the class cracking jokes. At times these types of professors are both a blessing and a curse. You don't really have to worry about them thinking you're lazy for not coming to class, but you're also on your own for the most part.
2. The one that doesn't make sense
They aren't necessarily a bad professor, but everyone has an EXTREMELY hard time following what they're teaching. These professors make easy-to-understand ideas sound like rocket science.
3. The one everyone is low key scared of
You do not want on this professor's bad side. The sad truth is your professor might just look really intimidating and they aren't even mean at all. Even still you hope every day that you can make it to class, pass all your assignments, stay awake during the lecture, and occasionally answer a question so it shows you've been paying attention.
4. The normal one
While some see the normal professors as "boring," I think we should all appreciate the normal professors. By normal I mean kind of in between in everything. They don't care too much, but just enough. The way they teach isn't easy but it isn't difficult, so you still have to pay attention in class. They aren't intimidating but they aren't best friends with you either. My classes with "normal" professors tend to encourage me to learn even more than my other classes and they help keep me focused.
5. The friendly one
Although they're your professor, they still try to be friends with everybody in the class. They actually try to remember everyone's names and sometimes have inside jokes with students that they laugh about even outside the classroom.
