Any tips on how to get on the teachers good side ??

Answer 1

Be quiet in class, unless you are being called on for an answer. Contribute answers and suggestions when requested. Do your homework. Volunteer for an extra project or assignment. Study a little and get decent marks on tests.

Flirting might work, too.

I'll tell you a little secret: Teachers just want to get through the day with the feeling that they actually taught something. If you actually learn stuff, let the teacher know. They'll love you for it.

Answer 2

I assume you want something along the line of "making a good impression", not just "s***ing up".

Here's a bunch, not in any particular order, applicable to high school and college, from my experience and after brainstorming with a professor friend of mine. Take what you need and leave the rest.

Showing up to class is generally a good idea, especially if you think you might have trouble with the material. Doing homework is a GREAT idea. Asking for extra credit assignments, after you've blown off half a semester's work, is NOT.

Copying textbooks, articles, term papers, etc. is BAD. Really, really, REALLY bad. Trust me, it's incredibly bad, and most instructors can spot copied work. No, your wonderful new-found proficiency in writing will NOT impress the teacher or the teaching assistant. It WILL stand out like a sore thumb. And if they're using something like turnitin.com, you may end up being thrown out of school, with an XF on your transcript, indicating a "cheater's F"---BIG red flag to other schools and employers. If you're having trouble in doing a paper, ASK---and ask early--for help!

Take notes. Ask if it's OK to use a recorder; some profs are cool with it; others aren't. Most professors do like people who sit in the first few rows, since the goof-offs and slackers tend to hang around the back.

If you're totally EXHAUSTED, you're probably better off cutting the class, rather than showing up and falling asleep in it! (But if you're in high school, cutting is probably NOT an option. Pinch yourself a lot, take deep breaths, prop your eyelids open, and fight the desire to sleep.) Professors can get very miffed by this. They can also get very ticked off by text messaging, doing crossword puzzles, using your gameboy, etc. If you do these things, and then need lots of help in tutoring, don't be too surprised if you get a cool reception.

If you're lost on an area, after giving it a reasonable attempt in study, grab the teacher and ask for help EARLY. It's very depressing having a student come to you six weeks into the semester and finding out they haven't understood a thing since the first afternoon. Shoot down problems fast.

Teacher's assigned a paper, and none of the specific topics rock your boat? Is there a **similar** area that does? You may be able to get an approval for yours----ask! (Many instructors would rather read a paper written by an enthusiastic writer, than someone who's just dragging through the motions. The worst that will happen is a "no, you're stuck with doing X.")

Hope this helps.

Most teachers really like it when a student looks like they are listening, and even more when they look interested in what the teacher is saying. Teachers like it when they ask the class a question and somebody raises their hand and actually knows the answer. But they don't like it very much when only one or two are always raising their hands and trying to get too much attention. Teachers like it when a student shows effort in the work they do, instead of handing in a sloppy paper late. They like it when a student shows up on time and dressed neatly but not too flashy, like classy. They like it when a student makes things easier by offering to hand out materials, or collect them. Since everybody makes mistakes and nobody is perfect, most teachers like it when people are patient with them and the other students, and if the student makes a mistake accepts correction. It is a problem if a teacher plays favorites, so they like it when each student prefers to be a 'team' member or part of the group.
A few teachers do play favorites, but mostly everybody else resents this,, so I wouldn't try that.

Answer 4

Apply youself by competeing all assignments on time. Also, express your understanding of what they deal with. Example- When I have to give an excuse for being late, I always make sure that they know that I am aware that they hear every excuse in the book and I apologize. I also make sure that I convey to them that I do not expect leniency when I may not achieve a certain goal that they want and again, I apologize. Sincerity is key, along with putting in your best effort, for all relationships.

Answer 5

Just be a decent person....if you are on your teacher's bad side right now, it will take time to re-build the trust. Just pay attention and show interest.

Answer 6

Don't be a naughty student.
Listen and study, get high marks.
Then all the teachers will be good for you.

Answer 7

Pay attention in class, read the textbook, and ask questions that show you have done the first two things.

Many student questions canbe answered by doing these first two.

Answer 8

Study, excel, get high grades.

Answer 9

Flirt.
