How to Please Your Comp 1 Professors

How to Survive Dr. Fox’s Class

So, you’ve decided to take Dr. Fox’s Freshman Comp 1 class. I’ve been through that course and I’ve managed to survive. If it’s too late to drop Dr. Fox’s class and enroll with Sebacher, I recommend that you follow my advice. With great attendance, some effort, and a little bit of common sense, you can easily thrive under Dr. Fox’s guidance.

Dr. Fox doesn’t handle her class the way that many professors at Valencia handle their classes. Dr. Fox actually wants to see your pretty face in class each day. If you miss more than four classes, Dr. Fox will drop you from class, and all the money that you spent on tuition and books will be wasted. Attending class each week will take, at the most, three hours, which is a small commitment compared to how much time you probably spend sitting on your butt watching TV at home. Don’t forget to be on time, as well. You’ll get nothing good from any class if you show up 40 minutes late each day.

Dr. Fox’s policy on essays is very important to follow. She will not let anyone turn in the final draft of a paper unless she received the rough draft a week earlier. Dr. Fox reads all of the rough drafts that she receives and comments on them, too. When she hands them back out in class for you to revise, I urge you to actually make an effort and change your paper for the better. Dr. Fox isn’t dumb. She will notice that your rough draft and final draft are identical, especially since you must return your rough draft with the final draft.

I am violating one of Dr. Fox’s favorite rules in this essay. I’ve used the word “you” many times, which Dr. Fox does not like to see used in essays. What she likes even less though, are the words “thing” and “it.” No matter how much sense is made out of using the word “it,” just don’t put that word
