Your Peers: The Good, The Bad, and We-Wish-You-Had-Enrolled-at-Elsewhere University


In last post, Ms. Snark outlined types of professors you are likely to encounter in the classroom--very important information for navigating your college career.

However, almost as important: knowing your classroom competition. The Professor will offer her student lowdown/smackdown perspective of your peers. In the next few weeks, as she reveals her thoughts, she will post links on the right panel in a link list called "The Professor's Student Lowdown/Smackdown." Meanwhile, here, for your enjoyment and enlightenment, is an outline of what to expect:
-
The Memorable
-
-----The Superstar
-
-----
The Learner
-
-----
The Worker
-
The Silent Majority
-
The Squawking PITA
-
-----The Whiner
-
-----
The Angry 10 o’clock Scholar

The Professor has already explained general characteristics of the Cunster, the DUHster, and the DunSTIR; it may surprise you that these types can end up in just about any of the above outlined categories. For example, just because a student is perceived as a superstar doesn't mean she is a perfect little angel.
