My professor sucks what should I do?
Make the best of it. I've heard of a lot of teachers that give horrible lectures but are really good when you visit them one on one. It's painful sometimes to have to listen to something really boring, but you will get through it. Everyone has a few bad teachers that they have to deal with. I've got so many this semester!! It's frustrating.
Should I email my professor to find out what textbooks he'll be using?
Every college I've attended (four) would give you a few weeks where you can return text books for free. Buy the books and ask about them when the class first meets. The prof will probably say something about what is required even if you don't ask. With many students, the prof. may get a large volume of email. Questions of this sort may be annoying.
My professor SUCKS!!!?
If you want to file a complaint, it is best that you document everything that has occurred recently. Such as---arrived at 9:15 for 9:00 class or missed so and so day. It might be a good idea to make a copy of the exams to show how useless they might be. As for not assigning homework, some of my professors in the past assign a textbook and advise you to do the problems from there. That is just how college is, you work independently for many things. I don't believe the university would take action against your professor with a single student complaining... However, if you want them to do so, contact your fellow classmates and take an entire group to the dean. If there is nothing you can do about it on the university level, you can at least inform other students about him. I know I used ratemyprofessors.com for EVERY single professor I ever had, whether it was to check on someone I might be taking the following semester or to comment on a professor. Good luck!
Do professors get in trouble for giving out too many A's?
I teach at a community college and no one has ever said a word to me about my grades. However, unlike a lot of professors, I've actually had coursework in assessment. I was always taught that a grade distribution should resemble a bell curve, with C's at the top, and then B's and D's on the sides, with the fewest A's and F's. Does it always work out that way? No. Some semesters you can get a really good batch of highly-skilled and motivated students, other semesters, not so much. We can't control who enrolls in our courses. Fall semesters, with the incoming high school students, tend to be the worst. Of course, grade inflation is a problem everywhere, and usually when there's "talk" of inflated grades, fingers are always pointed at adjuncts and lecturers. The tenured can do no wrong. When I first started at the college where I work, we got a breakdown of everyone's grades so we could see where our distributions fell in comparison. For some reason my college has stopped bothering with this report, so the assumption is always "the adjunct....blah...blah...blah." Another problem I find is the professors who refuse to give good grades. You basically cannot get an A with some people, the GPA-wreckers. What I've found is that these people usually have never actually been taught how to teach and/or assess, and they, pardon the expression, get off on giving people crappy grades. It's a control issue, and there's at least one in every department I'm sure. As far as I'm concerned, that's who should "get in trouble." As far as actually "getting in trouble for too many A's;" I've never seen it happen. People just run their mouths and that's about it.
How likely will a professor find out if you are plagiarizing?
Quite likely... As others have pointed out and from my own experience as a professor, instructors check the web all the time for items lifted from the internet or books.. As well, I can often tell just by reading something that it doesn't "fit" with a student's style or ability as demonstrated in class... One can usually tell if the ideas expressed aren't in line with the student's ability as expressed in class as well, so even if one "changes" the words a bit, most college level instructors can spot work that didn't start in the student's own brain/ has been "reworked" (plagiarized) from another source... If you are "clever" enough to cheat, instead use that effort actually to learn how to express yourself/ do your own work...
My College Professor Hits On Me?
My best advice in this situation is, wait. I'll explain. I am the last one who would ever discourage you for pursuing the hope of something wonderful like love with another person. However, some of the previous answerers have made very good points that I have to agree with. If the two of you got into a relationship right now, succeeding in that class could become very difficult for you if things went south between you and the professor. If things went well for the two of you, he does run the risk of losing his job. Either way it's likely you'll be talked about, rumors will spread, and you'll be painted as a suck-up who sleeps with professors for better grades. I realize that isn't what this is at all, but unfortunately that's how some of your meaner classmates would tell it. Still, to connect with another human being is such a wonderful thing, and I'd be sorry for you to have to lose that with your professor. Part of me wants to say, "quit the class for him", but you need the credits and I think you'd regret dropping out later. Which brings me to my advice for you: wait. While right now isn't the best time for the two of you to be in a relationship, who says something can't happen in the future? When you are no longer his student, no worries. You can explore a relationship with him as you please. For now, go ahead and meet him for coffee. Be his friend. If he expresses a want for more than friendship, explain your position and how, while you're definitely attracted to him and want to pursue a relationship with him, you feel that it would be best for the both of you to wait until you're no longer in that class. He should respect that. I sympathize with you for being in such a situation. Love is such a complicated and unpredictable thing - like a bolt of lightening. I wish you both the best, and I know you'll do what you deem best for you and your professor.
Can I get in trouble for slipping my professor my cell phone number?
That’s sexual harassment.So, yes, that will get you in trouble. Universities have rules against harassment.It is more common for those rules to be there to protect students from professors (professors have power and students are more vulnerable), but they apply across the board to everyone at the institution. For instance, at my institution (http://www.utrgv.edu/hop/policie...), policy specifically says it casts a wide net:This policy applies to all UTRGV administrators, faculty, staff, students, and third parties within UTRGV’s control, including visitors and applicants for employment. The policy applies to conduct regardless of where it occurs, including off UTRGV property, if it potentially affects the complainant’s education or employment with UTRGV.Also relevant: How to Spot Harassment or Abuse (emphasis added).If you feel uncomfortable or threatened as a result of the action, it's probably harassment, regardless of the intent of the harasser.
What are my chances of getting PR in Canada ?
The Federal Skilled Workers Program is the principal way of obtaining a PR visa in Canada for skilled workers. Express Entry, presented for the first time in 2015, has become the main avenue of migration into Canada. Express Entry is a system used by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, which scrutinizes application received as part of the Canadian government’s immigration programs.Applications are invited from qualified individuals who have education and skills to contribute to the Canadian economy. Skilled workers from around the world can move to Canada in just a few months thanks to the Express Entry System.The application has to be made to World Education Services (WES) for Educational Credential Assessment (ECA). The applicant must also take IELTS English test.When IELTS and WES confirmation is received the applicant can proceed to create an Expression of Interest (EOI) and participate in the FSW express draw.Criteria used in the comprehensive ranking system (CRS) -Age:Age up to 35 – 12 pointsIf age is more than 35 then 1 point is subtracted for each yearAcademic Qualifications:PhD – 25Postgraduate – 23Graduate – 21Two-year diploma – 20One year diploma – 19Knowledge of English:IELTS 7.0 Band in speaking, reading, writing plus 8.0 in Listening – 24 pointsIf IELTS scores go down so do the pointsWork Experience:If more than 6 years – 15 points4-5 years – 13 points2-3 years – 11 points1 year – 9 pointsA satisfactory score ensures receiving PR visa in Canada.

Will my professor find out I committed plagiarism?
All she has to do is type a section of your paper into a search engine and she'll be able to find all of it. You're right, you aren't smart (and it has nothing to go with going to a community college). Cheating may have worked in high school but it doesn't work in college. I work for a university in an office that handles plagiarism and cheating charges and guess what? Nearly every student always gets caught, especially those dumb enough to copy and paste from the internet. You're pretty much screwed. Just hope she goes easy on you and gives you a zero on the paper and doesn't have you kicked out of school.
How do I tell my professor at the university that I feel that the curriculum is too slow for me and would like to get a chance to learn faster (IT field)?
I don’t know why people are recommending that you pursue your advancing education without the guidance of faculty when they are readily available. Of course you should speak to your professors. I think your general humility is a good approach, and it’s not bad to say “I wish I could learn more and faster.” A good professor will help you direct your interests. Whether you are gifted or not is largely irrelevant. If you can move faster, go for it. The military may pace everyone, and for valid reasons, but MIT’s drill approach to learning is IMO slow and painful and not of exceptional value for most students.As for completing all of the work ahead of time, I don’t think most professors issue all assignments at the beginning of the course, and certainly that’s not true for exams.We have a very motivated freshman who already had some programming experience, but not enough to skip classes. We built an independent study for him working on a corner of an existing research program. I don’t know that this is particularly productive from a research standpoint, but he’s learning and enjoying himself, and we may well get some good work. It’s a bit of extra effort on our part, but why are we here if not for the cause of advancing knowledge?If you go to Professor A and they ignore you, go to Professor B, and keep doing this until you find someone. An engaged professor will ask you about your interests, and if you say “everything” or “I don’t know”, they won’t have anything to work with. You don’t have to have an amazing answer, just an honest answer. Many professors will suggest some reading, with the expectation that, like most undergrads who come talk to us, you’ll never do it. Do the reading and come back.At a research university, the professor might ask you to work with a graduate student; that’s not a bad thing, as the grad students have more time and, since they are in an exploratory, transitional part of their lives and careers, they will be easier to identify with.Good luck, have fun, and ignore anyone who says “learn on your own!” unless it’s what you want to do. If learning on your own without a good foundation was usually effective and efficient, colleges and universities (and schools generally) wouldn’t exist.
