Myths of College

Here are 8 myths of college that a lot of students believe:

1. It doesn't matter if I come to class late or if I come at all
   
2. If I don't have my book or if I haven't read the assignment, it really won't matter. All I have to do is listen to the lecture or get information from other students.
   
3. All that matters is showing up for class. If I read that paper or do homework for another class, that's my business.
   
4. I don't have to raise my hand in class. I can also chat with my neighbor if I feel like it as long as I don't talk to loud.
   
5. It's okay if I bring a snack or a can of pop to class, when I have don't have time to eat before class.
   
6. I can bring my cell phone to class since my work needs to get in touch with me at any time.
   
7. If I work really hard and do everything my instructor tells me to, I will get a good grade.
   
8. The instructor is really nice and seems to like his students. I guess that means he's an easy grader.
   

Your instructor is human just like you and I, and the instructor will always form opinions on you. You want to leave a good impression with your teacher, especially the first one.
