Few people realize that man has already attained immortality; it's merely been abused, forgotten, and renamed Writing. -Brian Egan

It Wasn't Okay Then, It's Not Okay Now:

Why you can't make your personal education mine too.

Dedicated, with love, to two very special people in HIST 111.

Number One

We all paid to get told what a professional knows. We didn't pay to hear what you think, unless of course you can reinforce/add to a lecture.

Number Two

When you struggle to string words together in an intelligent manner, it shows. WE CAN TELL WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO SOUND SMARTER THAN YOU ARE.

Number Three

ASK QUESTIONS. Don't try to force lecture points that are scheduled to arrive latter. When Professor X (haha) is talking about subject A, you don't really need to know about B until next week, do you?

Number Four

Sometimes when people give you an answer you don't want to hear, you logically assume that they misunderstood. They didn't misunderstand. You are simply wrong. Accept the fact that everyone can make a mistake and move on.
