10. Choose Favorites
Though few teachers ever truly succeed in this endeavor, most are supposed to make sure they never choose favorites among their students. Everyone is meant to be treated equally.
Professors, on the other hand, have no problem deciding that certain students are just, well, better than others.
9. Don’t Care About Discipline
The job of teaching requires you to not only provide students with information, but make sure they sit still long enough to actually absorb some of it. The job of a professor gets rid of that drill-instructor element. The lack of discipline will make you feel like you’re being taught by an escaped member of a hippie commune.
8. Have Crushes on Students
Thankfully, this doesn’t happen often, but the fact that the age of consent is no longer an issue once a student gets to college means that certain professors are way too comfortable with showing, ahem, “affection” towards some of their more attractive students.
7. Don’t Treat You Like A Kid
Failing a class in high school was a humiliating experience. It meant phone calls to your parents, individual conferences, and facing the general disappointment of your teacher.
As a college student, though, you’re an adult, able to decide for yourself whether or not you’re going to get your money’s worth. Your professors won’t care all that much whether you pass or fail. If you’re a responsible person, it will be a breath of fresh air.
If you’re not, well, college might be tough.
6. Clearly Don’t Want To Be There
Teachers are often expected to get their students excited about the class by pretending to be enthusiastic about teaching it. Professors, on the other hand, figure that you chose this class. They don’t need to act excited about teaching it simply because it will make it more fun for you.
