Usually profs sit around waiting for people to show up. It's a great way to show that you're interested and introduce yourself.</p>http://www.nextstudent.com/the-students-blog/archive/2008/08/07/7-ways-to-get-on-your-professor-s-good-side-from-day-one.aspx#628Mon, 29 Jun 2009 01:37:39 GMTb4427045-5aa3-420a-8e6b-b6143bd61abe:628t.hale<p>I made fun of them to their face day one.
