Do not blame your professors!

1. University education is not easy.
2. It is a challenge.
3. You must work for it and work hard to earn good grades.
4. Make sure you are fulfilling your obligations!
5. Do not expect your professor to teach you how to read and write.
6. Do not expect lenient grades on assignments just because your skills are lacking.
7. The point of a post-secondary education is to learn, not to get good grades.
8. Be polite in all dealings with the professor
9. Grades merely reflect whether or not you have learned the material that the university has decided is relevant to your field of study.
10. If you give a second-rate effort, you deserve second-rate grades and all that comes with that.
11. Do all readings, research, and assignments on an appropriate schedule.
12. Don't blame the professors if you didn't learn the material because you failed to show up to class or to do the reading and assignments.
13. Show up to class on time and ready to participate in the learning process
14. Don't blame the professors if you didn't get your assignment done on time because you left it all to the last minute and disaster hit.
15. Don't expect the professors to make exceptions for you that wouldn't be made for other students.
16. It is not the professor's job to give you a passing grade when you don't deserve one.
17. It is not their job to grant you exceptions that would be unfair to everyone else.
18. It is not their job to chase after you to come to class, nor to give you special attention if you skip classes and are completely lost later
19. If you feel that these responsibilities are too tough, don't go to university. You don't belong there.
20. The University for People who want to learn, not people looking to get a meaningless piece of paper.
