This Entry Doesn't Need A Title 2

This is nothing relevant, tbh. You can go back to your regular Web-browsing activity since this post will be lame like it's writer. (Disclaimer: Names used in this post have been changed.)

Since I'm currently studying to pursue a teaching profession, I have been keen and observant with the teachers/professors I meet everywhere. I try to understand the way they are, and try to get some good pointers out of it. So, I have decided to put those in here, to serve as a reminder for me on how to be the best student and future best teacher ever. Teehee.

Nothing gets more cooler than a teacher who uses index cards to terrify challenge his/her students. IDEK, but some teachers are really fond of asking their students every first meeting to write their names on an index card and submit those afterwards. Then on their second meeting, the teacher would shuffle those index cards like a professional poker player, which, in turn, will scare the heck out of the unprepared students. Once the shuffling is done, one unlucky student will have to answer the first question from the teacher, which is (most of the time) about the lessons the class had a year ago. This method is not suitable for faint-of-the-heart type of students.

A teacher who brings a wand wooden stick to class means serious business. And I do mean 'serious'. My Accounting professor last semester would always bring this wooden stick to class, which he uses to point things around (e.g. "Look at the board!" *points*; "Close the door!" *points*; "Put your papers on the table!" *points*). We thought he was just trying to be like Dumbledore or something, so we didn't quite took him and his lessons seriously.... But we were wrong! We have committed the greatest mistake of our lives for thinking that our professor didn't mean business! And that, dear children, is the prologue for another story entitled "The Horrendous Red Mark On A Freshman's Report Card".

If your teacher assigns you truckloads of homeworks and projects, be thankful. Because those teachers (most of the time) are the types who are very generous in giving high grades to their students. Enough said.

Never commit the mortal sin of all mortal sins: forgetting your teacher's name. We learned that the hard way. Our Language professor had a very common name, so everytime he asked us to submit papers and stuff, he would always remind us to put his name on the left-hand corner of our paper, so he will know if the papers are for him. Once, one of my classmates forgot his name, and our professor was already calling him to turn in his paper. Out of panicking, he asked his seatmate about our professor's name. I don't know if he just forgot to clean his ear or whatevs, but he wrote the name wrong. And if you guys only saw the reaction of our professor. He turned red because of anger. Imagine Incredible Hulk, but red. So, our two-hour class intended for the studying of grammar and words ended up as a two-and-a-half seminar on why you should never forget your teacher's name. Ever.

So, I guess this will sum up my post for today. Don't worry, I'll try adding more when I get the time. Ta-ta for now.
