HOW TO GET ALONG WITH TOUGH PROFESSORS OR LECTURERS
Of course, every school or college has that one professor that acts really difficult to get by(just kidding). Before I begin to talk more about them, I want you to know this:

Let’s read the minds of a lecturer and a student:Tough teachers aren’t really tough, it’s just the paradigm difference.

Student: this man is just wicked, I was just three minutes late and he wouldn't collect the assignment!
Lecturer: this kid needs to know what it means to be a minute late, only if someone had taught me how to be time conscious, I wouldn’t have lost a job that pays twice as much as this.
So you see, they might not actually be as tough as you think, just take your time to study their dos and don’ts.
I was just in college when this happened:
We had a professor who lectured civic education, our seniors refer to him as the toughest lecturer in the department, few out of many students pass his course. “Maybe I should move closer to him, probably, I’ll know why he’s so tough” I thought. I did and it was successful.
I was in his office when I asked, “sir, I don’t want to fail your course like our seniors did, what should I do?”
He smiled and said :
“well, you see, I don’t deal with the theoretical aspect of my course alone, the practical is what really matters. You can’t expect a bunch of students who dress indecently or come late or disturb the class or give sarcastic answers to my questions or such, to pass my course. So you really want to pass my course huh? Just do the right thing.
Since then, I no longer see him as tough, I see him as a principled man who frowns at indecency.
So how do I get along with those tough professors?
Quite easy;
• Never disturb their class:
Those guys really hate it when you disturb their lecture(trust me). They might not send you out or say anything, but believe me, they’ve marked your face(and I’m sure you know what that means). No matter how many you are in the hall, they know the ones that disturb. So be careful you don’t disturb the class.
• Have a thinking of “they want the best for me”:
Some tough professors aren’t just tough, some believe that they’re preparing you for life’s challenges. My very first instance is a typical example. I had a professor whom I thought was wicked then, now I’m grateful for those tough trainings.
• Always be involved in their class:
As tough as they can be, they have a soft spot for students who contributes positively in their class. You may be surprised that after thinking you’ve failed, you ended up passing. These are the little things some students don’t know.
• Know that tough professors are bound to be in schools:
Knowing a problem has partially solved it. Having this mindset prepares your mind to getting along with them.
Let’s assume that every single professor in the school is nice, gentle and easy going, what’ll happen? The school will be boring. Shocking enough, those tough guys make what higher institution is, where you build not just your GPA, but also learn how to cope with diverse individuals.
So to round off this article, hold this:
