Management Issues

To manage work, personal life and school takes a lot of time, especially when one is studying full-time. There are a lot homework and projects. But, I believe that if I set a schedule and follow it closely, I will be able to reconcile these three things and still do well in school. I am only concerned about one of my classes this semester.

The source of the problem is a professor that I am taking this semester. The professor is a very good teacher so far, but, unfortunately, it seems that she believes that in order to get the
students to participate in class and cooperate with her is to act as a dictator. We are required to bring the textbook, to do the homework and extra materials to class every session, which is fine for me. The problem is, for example, when a student forgets to bring the textbook to class, the professor will yell at him/her. Or if she explains a topic and you asked her to repeat it, you'll receive a very rude answer before she explains it again.

My solution to this problem is to constantly remind myself that I have to be prepared for class and to pay attention in the lectures, in order to avoid asking unnecessary questions, because it's very embarrassing to receive a rude answer from a professor in front of other students.

In response to your problem I think that your already doing everything that you have to do. Just continue to bring all your materials for class, do all the homework, and pay attention. Before you know it the class will be over and you'll have your A for the semester. Best of luck!!!

You are doing everything you ca to prioritize but sometimes there are just too much problems. No matter how much I try to plan my schedule it just doesn't work out.
