how often do you have one-on-one talks with your professor, my fellow /sci/ssors?

[Anonymous No.9106713]

I would never voluntarily talk to anybody I didn't have to, I only talk to my advisor and even then I try to avoid doing so.

[Anonymous No.9106742]

I've taught at two large state schools. Working on my PhD now.

I never do it, and I should.

My students should do it, and they never do.

Pretty sad, really

Once a week. He only comes in a tuesday and friday for a few hours at a time. This can be frustrating a times. But if I write down all the problems I run into it ends up not being that big of a deal

Visit at least a few times early in semester so they know your face. It makes it easier to make up a test or bargin for partial credit sometime later. Try and figure out whether they lean left or right politically so you can virtue signal to their pet bullshit.

At least once a week. But 99% of the time it is the same professor so I don't know if that counts.

No that would be strange

[Anonymous No.9107327]

I used to ask my math professors what the bullshit we were learning physically represented but the answers were always trash or "I dunno." If you don't know what it is then maybe it shouldn't be taught.

Only two professors. One I do research under and the other is my advisor. They've both made me realize that professors really are just human and not some strange academia robots. Maybe I should more often.

Why would I talk to my professor in their offices other than homework. I'm not the professor's friend which is why students never address the professor by their first name.

And tutes don't count because you have to do tutes. We're talking about going out of your way to talk to your profs (and tutors aren't even professors anyways, so this entire reply is garbage)

Who cares anon if it's true? Maybe they might give you a higher grade if they like you enough.

At the very least once, usually twice to three times a week, it's quite helpful and fun.

If I were in high-school, I would tried to be close to my physics professor. However, of all a sudden, over since I made transition to college, I don't have an urge to connect with my teacher. I think anybody that would try to befriend their teacher is strange for doing so.

He is a brainlet, like most of us, doomed to reading what the PHENOTYPED individuals such a Witten have come up with. We can't compete

[Anonymous No.9107588]

>>9106711
Like once a week now. With my old professor I'd see them like four times a week. Lab meeting, sub group meeting, personal meeting, and them checking in in the lab.
Give or take an additional meeting over beer.
>>9106784
Roast them back. Also don't forget to purposely disobey their instructions.
You want me to do thing? Haha, whoops I did other thing instead. Well in cases in which they are wrong.

I don't need to go see them for help, and I'm too anxious to socialize with them, so I never have any. I'd call them up like pic related if I could

If you don't talk to your prof's how do you get references for grad school you Fucking antisocial idiots

[Anonymous No.9110056]

At the most maybe once a week with a few professors I have taken numerous courses with. Often times just quick back and forth chats after classes are enough to help nail down paper proposals and assignments.

I like to go to cyber security stuff and one of my professors hooks me up. We've had some beers and he's cool I guess. I'm fairly incompetent with socially interacting so I'd rather not talk to anyone if I can help it.

Any tips on getting on the good side of a professor? My classes start next week and I want to make a good impression without looking like a suck up/teacher's pet.

sit near the front and constantly make eye contact

[Anonymous No.9112682]

>>9111929
Just make the conversation natural man, also make sure you are GENUINELY interested in the course the professor is offering. I have a few tips for you:

1. Study up on the topic before the course starts. You will most likely have some questions about things while studying, and assuming you're not a brainlet, this is the kind of question a professor likes to answer. So after the first lecture, go to him, and say "Hi, I've already done some studying on this topic, but I was wondering how..." Professors LOVE it if you are genuinely interested in the course. If you show this after the first lecture already, he will most likely keep recognizing you as >that guy who likes my course.

2. Get a good grade for his course. Devote time and attention to his course, draw out intuitive pictures of hard to grasp concepts, get a feeling for things, discuss stuff with your new friend the professor.

3. Send him an email after the course, thanking him, and asking what follow-up courses you should do, or whether he has any good recommendations for papers or books you can read to learn more about the topic at hand.

Don't fuck this up and you'll be giving each other nicknames and hanging out in their office laughing about the other professors in only a few months time.
