RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

In every class I took in college, 5-10 minutes to the end, I'd ruffle some papers and zip the zipper on my back pack to end class early because "student close up noises" are contagious. (lemmy.world)

Without fail the class would end a few minutes early. As soon as I started making the sounds it was like dominoes. Ten minutes left in the lecture but everyone has all their stuff put away and are putting their coats on. I think of this often. May this knowledge set you free a few minutes early.

It's college. You're literally paying to be there so you're short changing yourself and your classmates.

If want to leave early, get the fuck up and go. You're an adult. Act like it.

College adjunct instructor checking in:

Your teacher is human. They are there because they want to help you get the information that you need to be a successful person as an individual and in society. They see the class packing up early and it really stings because they care about you and their subject’s impact on the world.

If you don’t want to be an educated member of a democracy, just save yourself the student loan bills and don’t come in the first place.

I mean yeah but it's awkward as shit and might make your professor hate you, and no good can come out of that.
