Scenarios

• Your English professor lectures as his primary teaching style.
• Your History professor likes to tell stories to the class, but she does not spend much class time on the class material.
• On the first day of school, your Math professor tells you that 50% of the students in this class will drop it by the third week of school. She is cold, distant, and unapproachable.
• Your Biology professor covers many terms in class you do not know. You feel lost most of the time.
• Your professor presents many complicated graphs and diagrams during class, and he does not spend enough time explaining them.
• Your computer professor uses PowerPoint during lectures, but he clicks the slides too fast for you to keep up. When you ask him to go back to a particular slide, he frowns with displeasure.
