Tomorrow is the first day of school and already today I tried to fail a student because of his attitude. I don't even think he's taking Italian, but when I tell you no once, don't argue. If I want a discussion I will invite it. And please don't pull the, "Ok, I'm just paying you all this money and you won't let me...." because guess what? You're not paying me. And if you're so entitled that you can't listen, you do not want me as your teacher. Here are some other tips for not setting yourself up to fail.
1. Please get dressed. I do not appreciate pajamas or sweaty gym clothes in class. It's gross and you look lazy.
2. Don't give up on the first day. If you do, you'll never make it and you might as well just get up and leave, go straight to the computer and drop my class.
3. Read the syllabus. 98% of the questions you'll ask can be answered there. And I'll go over it with you so please don't be an idiot.
4. Figure out what you should call me on the first day. Then you're not in week 14 trying to figure out if you should refer to me as Professor, Ms., etc.
5. Get the book. I notice who shows up unprepared on day one and you don't want to start in the hole.
