Your Instructor on Planet College

During your time on Planet College you will have many, many, many instructors. So, read this carefully.
Your instructor may be a professor, an assistant or associate professor, an instructor, a guest lecturer, part-time instructor or even a TA, a teaching assistant. Whoever they are and whatever they are called, they are the person who is responsible for assigning your grade. Pay careful attention to what they say during class. Pay careful attention to what they deem is important for the course. Examine the syllabus, course outline and every handout the instructor hands out. You are at a university, in a college, in a department, in a program and in a class to get a passing grade. Passing grades in your courses will enable you to finish your program, graduate with a degree and get a real job back on Planet Earth. Think about it. No more smelly roommates who stiff you for the cable bill, no more crappy old car that won't start when you’re late, no more waiting ‘till 2am to do your laundry, no more papers due, no more late fees, no more library fines. Sound worth it? OK then, quit staring out the window and get to work. Planet Earth is calling.
