   I know...I'm trying not to think about it too much, but its always in the back of my mind. I felt like the interview went well, but you never know what they're really looking for. How did yours go?

11. How to deal with ****-poor teaching?

    roro13sf replied to BlueEyedGuy's topic in General Students

    You will come across professors like that...and it can be frustrating. Find out what content you're responsible for learning/being tested on (usually in the syllabus) and then read the assigned chapters. Connect with your classmates to see how they'r...
