Going to college is one of the best experiences of your life. Students will be able to make friends, be on their own, and start preparing for the future. One of the most important parts of college?the education?is crucial to a student. Students will be able to choose their major and prepare themselves for the workplace. Professors are one of the most important part of a college education. However, many students overlook the importance that professors have in the students education. To be successful when it comes to college professors, students should be able to identify the 5 different professors there are. When I was in college?I had the pleasure (and sometimes displeasure) of being taught by these 5 kinds of professors.

1) The Smart Professor
This is a professor that most college students want to be like. This professor can talk about nearly everything under the sun. They have interesting, engaging lectures that everyone participates in. This is one of the best professors that you can learn many things from.

2) The Friendly Professor
This is the professor that everyone loves. Their classes are always full and they give the best lectures. This professor works hard to remember everyone’s names and always has office hours. This is a great professor to have when you are considering someone to ask for a letter of recommendation. Stay in touch with this professor.

3) The Absentminded Professor
This is the professor that comes to class late, forgets when class is, but is very intelligent. These professors are entertaining and you can usually buy yourself some time when they ask about the deadline for an assignment.

4) The Boring Professor
This is the dreaded professor. No matter what he/she is lecturing on, they can make it boring. It makes class painful. However, a lot of the times, this professor is an expert in their field and you need the class for your major. Try visiting with this professor after class, they might be a boring lecturer, but a really cool person out of class.

5) The “Prepare You for the Work-Force” Professor
This professor is one that you will encounter in your higher level courses. They will want to prepare you for your future career. They will require you to produce resumes and cover letters. If you are a freshman, try steering away from these kinds of professors. They are extremely valuable to seniors and upperclassmen.

Professors are a very important part of college. Take the time to ask other students about professors that you are considering taking a class from. Once you are in the class, make sure that you get to know the professor. You will have a more successful college experience if you do.
