Dealing with Difficult Professors

Your investment in the college that you chose is a serious affair.  It is the bridge that can connect you to your career and many other opportunities after a degree is obtained.  Sometimes you will encounter difficult professor(s) who may not meet their obligation of teaching that is beneficial to your performance. If you are studying diligently and have made attempts to understand a subject and the professor is unavailable during his or her scheduled office hours, you may want to verify that the hours on the syllabus are the current hours for that semester. 

 

Professors have other responsibilities such as research and publishing in addition to lecturing classes and this may have caused a change in their schedule.  If this is not the case consult the dean of that department.  It is similar to asking for a manager or supervisor at a place of business except this is the business of your education and you should value it just as much as you would any major purchase in life.  Consult your catalog or school webpage on the proper steps to take if you dealing with a professor who is not living up to their job.
