Hello young Economist & Jedi, I wanted to share this with the present and future student on how to get into your professor’s good graces. Another way to view this, how to avoid the doghouse with your instructor.
College is not an extension of high school. That may seem obvious to anyone who has gotten a degree, but in my decades of teaching, I have observed many college freshmen who do not understand the expectations of college classes. Those 18-year-olds who are slow to figure out this basic truth risk failing classes or dropping out of school — two costly mistakes — or graduating with a mediocre record, which isn’t much better.
