Professors are essential to any college campus and they come in many shapes, sizes, personalities, and teaching methods. Sites like RateMyProfessor and Koofers exist so we know what we’re getting ourselves into before starting a class. With the tough professors hired by Drexel, we can only wish they would say one of the following things in class one day.

1. “This class is a total joke. You know it and I know it.”

2. “Attendance is not mandatory, I’ll grade you solely on your understanding of concepts.”

3. “You really don’t need to buy the textbook”

4. “Discussion boards are completely optional.”

5. “OPEN NOTE ‘ERRTHANG.”

6. “Let’s just pop some popcorn and watch a movie that briefly goes over the topic.”

7. “For 50% of your grade: Correctly fill in your name and date.”

8. “Pop quizzes are just a threat to get you to class.”

9. “I cancel class a lot.”

10. “I give extra credit.”

11. “I grade on completion.”

12. “No lab reports required.”

13. “I want to give you an ‘A’.”

14. “I have no idea how to work a computer, so each class will start 15 minutes late.”

15. “Free cookies every class period.”

16. “You can skip class for a co-op interview.”

Good luck with your midterms, Dragons! And if you’re brave enough, share this article with your favorite professor! 

Lindsey is a senior at Drexel University, majoring in operations management & bus. analytics. She has been with Her Campus Drexel for four years and was CC for the middle two. Along with living the city life, she takes an active interest in street style, putting together puzzles and binge-watching her current Netflix obsession. She actually calls Montana her true home so now you can say you know that someone actually lives there ;). When she's in Philly, you can find her in Center City scouring the racks of thrift stores, Old Navy, and H&M if she's not on campus enjoying the multiple food trucks or catching up on the readings she put off until the last day.
