20 Things Students Say Help Them Learn – Lingua Franca - Blogs - The Chronicle of Higher Education. Illustration by Jerome Corgier for The Chronicle Near the end of August, the 2014 Business Insider article “10 Things Every College Professor Hates” started circulating on Facebook again. I had just finished the syllabus for my introductory English linguistics class and was feeling excited to be headed back into the classroom.

Yet here was this article, which felt so negative. It didn’t come across as entirely respectful of all that students bring to the table. And the piece, aimed at students about “interacting with your professor or teaching assistant,” seemed to give more attention to pleasing the professor than to real learning. I wondered: What would happen if you asked undergraduate students not about how to please the professor but about what promotes good learning, for all of us, together, as participants in a learning community? Ten things students can do to promote good learning: Expect to learn every day. Ten things instructors can do to promote good learning: Return to Top.
