What does this have to do with me?

You, as a student, are at a university and in a college. If you are in your first two years you are probably in lower division. You are working on general education requirements and some pre-requisites if you have a major in mind. If you have declared a major you may be working within a department and you are most likely in a program. If you have not decided on a major you are at this point undeclared. No matter where you are in your schooling, except on rare occasions such as an appeal you will primarily be concerned with your Instructor. Your instructor is the person who will assign your grade for any course you are taking. That is what this has to do with you.

If you are a student at a community college most of the above still applies. If this still isn't clear read the above post again.
