Get Easy A’s In Your College Classes

Many of you may or may not know that instructors and professors frequently suffer from something I would like to call, ‘The ‘A’ Student Syndrome’. Let me explain it to you. When a teacher gets the first set of assignments for the semester, they are usually very objective in their grading. However, during this grading process there are students who standout in their minds. These are students which either does very good or very bad; the student who do very well usually infect the instructor with the ‘A’ student syndrome. From now one this teacher will view that student as an ‘A’ student and will be more likely to mark there future assignments better because of the level of work they expect from them. This really comes to play at the end of semesters when teachers are also in a hurry to get grades in. If they see a paper which they expect to be an A paper they will normally just glance over it and give it a good grade if there is nothing seriously wrong with it. However, during this time the person who has performed poorly in the beginning of the semester gets no breaks as the instructor is expecting to find errors, and so they actually look for errors.
So with all that said, will notice a change in your grades if you just make sure that the first assignment you turn in is a good one.
