For many college students going to class is bitter sweet. If its a class you enjoy, its not all bad. But if its a class you could really live without but it just happens to be a requirement everything just seems to irk your nerves. I asked a few students about some of the annoyances they face from fellow students while in class, in addition to ones that irritated me.
Irritation #1 comes from students that didn't do the homework and ask.....hey did you do the homework? Thinking that maybe if I didn't do the work it makes them look less of a bad student because there is another person that is as unprepared as they are!
Irritation #2 Gum Chewing. Its OK to chew gum in class, but please do you have to chew with your mouth open loud enough to distract me from hearing what the teacher is saying. Perhaps if you didn't chew so loud you would have herd the homework assignment and wouldn't be asking me if I did it!
Irritation #3 Gas. This includes flatulence, and belching aka farting and burping....why do students feel they can just squeeze one out without anyone noticing? If you fart it emits a smell that dominates YOUR LOCATION even if it makes no sound we all whisper that it was you....so the next time you come to class and no one is sitting next to you that is why. Burping...just say excuse me!
Irritation #4 Computer use. (student interview contributed) If you bring your computer to class that is great! Nine times out of ten its a useful tool to keep from getting bored during the boring classroom movie or lecture. However, telling the teacher your taking notes on it and your MASHING on the keys in fury laughing and smiling at the same time, I don't know about you but there is nothing funny about taking notes. Do you think the teacher doesn't know your on Facebook? Get real people aren't stupid....but you think they are so we will just go with it for now I guess.
Irritation #5 Food. (student interview contributed) We all get the "munchies" in class, but do your fellow students a favor and prepare your food before class. Opening a bag of chips slowly to make less noise is not effective! It still makes noise! Not as much yes but it does none the less and it is dragged out! Biting the chip slowly is often louder than chewing it normally and is also disruptive. Don't bring a plate of food with cling wrap over it and plastic ware. And please please do not bring Kentucky Fried Chicken to class saying you didn't have time to eat it at home and its to hard to eat in class. JUST DON'T COME TO CLASS PLEASE!
Irritation #6 Coughing. Coughing attacks aren't fun for anyone I know but is it necessary for you to cough for the entire hour and a half of class. Stay in your dorm, take a cough drop, go to the doctor, or bring some water to sooth your throat but your students shouldn't have to listen to you! H1N1 orrrrrrrrrrr?
