There are kids who don't show up and then are shocked, shocked, that they got bad grades. <br><br>However, I don't think that ratemyprofessors is a representative sample. My impression is that the people who spend time commenting there are on average not as academic as the general students.Joshuahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00637936588223855248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012577834296987267.post-39763278046636982832009-11-14T19:26:00.001-08:002009-11-14T19:26:00.001-08:00Interesting enough, I also went to look at what pe...Interesting enough, I also went to look at what people said about professors at the first college I attended. The comments were much more positive even though the school is much tougher. I think that the problem with Brooklyn College is that the requirements to get in are too low for how hard the work is. When you have kids coming in from NYC public schools with who knows what kind of education they are going to expect it to be easy. Also, none of my professors have said, "for those of you who are freshmen, you're in college, now. You have to choose: sink or swim."<br><br>Anyhow, I think it has more to do with the school than with RATEMYPROFESSOR. Especially because I hear from students in person things about them expecting easy A's and stuff. Another thing is that many people said that professors gave them higher grades than they deserved. Also, there's a lot of curves at this school. I'm glad but that doesn't play in a hard private college, even most other public colleges.Michaltastikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06358698308334285154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012577834296987267.post-29048781505223161552009-11-14T19:50:08.985-08:002009-11-14T19:50:08.985-08:00Usually during the first year of College/Universit...Usually during the first year of College/University for any student the intensity and work load is the deciding factor.<br><br>Many professors can determine who will survive first year and who won't.<br><br>You can choose as you said to "sink or swim". Academia is not for everyone. Information is not "spoon fed" to students. <br><br>At times you can have subjects with amazing professors who stimulate and challenge the minds of those whom they teach.
