RateMyProfessors

Okay, f'uck. Now I'm scared. First day of school and I'm sitting here reading about my professors.

Question: As long as I've grasped the materials (before the course), the teacher's quality or the lack thereof should not matter, is that correct? Or is there a hidden attribute to the US way of studying that I am not aware of? Perhaps, idk, the professor can deduct points off my GPA for... not remember to great details the definition of random theorems?

If you fully understand the concepts before the class starts, you're in great shape. But if you're a complete beginner, knows nothing, and you consider yourself an 'average' student at best, expect hell when you realize you have a sh`it professor.

Me and my bestfriend have been doing checks on which professors to take, because we're pretty new to some classes, and don't want to just rush in thinking that we'll magically learn just by being in the class. Suddenly, we have a shittastic professor and when exams comes by, over half of the class fails because the person cannot teach for sh`it. It depends on the student too, if you're studying a lot, and attending class constantly, you should be fine.

Some professors MIGHT deduct points for missing classes, some won't, though they do count attendance, and after missing so many classes, you insta-fail.
