Getting To Know Your Professors

Improved Essays
The three techniques from the article “The Importance Of Getting To Know Your Professors” I believe will be useful for me are avoid being tardy and turning in assignments late, email your professor if any problems arise that could affect your attendance and/or school work in class, and preview the assignments and discussions to familiarize yourself with topics for the course and/or next class discussion.
First, the reason why I choose to Avoid being tardy and turning in assignments late is on account of the fact that I know from personal experience that teachers and professors alike hate having to take time away from something they could be doing to have fun or better themselves as a person.
Next, was the technique of emailing the professor

I realized going back to bed could isn’t worth the extra 5 minutes because it puts you in a deeper sleep cycle, making it harder for me to get up when my alarm does go off. I have not used any resources on campus, but If I had to use any resources in the future I am always free to use the student wellness center on campus which focuses on the health of students at St. Francis as well as the career center if I was ever to be unsure of my major.
