Professor rants about student rants

          In the reading, “7 Deadly Sins of Students”, the author is a college professor who talks about all of the common flaws that many students possess. Using the 7 Deadly Sins from the Bible, the author relates all 7 of them to problems that students have. To be honest, I have to agree with a lot of the points he’s made, but to me, it seems like he thinks that professors are perfect in teachings. Throughout the reading, the author brings up the website Ratemyprofessor. He mentions that most of these rates are rants about the teaching. The author quickly puts down these rants saying that they aren’t true and are bias because he thinks that the students posting on the website are just mad at their professor because of a bad grade. When he says this, I completely disagree with what he said. All throughout the reading until the last couple of sentences, he basically praises professors and how they have no flaws or errors. Throughout my education, I’ve had a good amount of bad teachers/professors. When professors read these comments and rants, they may not believe them because they think that they know everything about the course and that their students should only be blaming themselves for not doing well in their class. In my opinion, I think that’s completely wrong. As a student, my opinion is probably bias, but there are teachers out there who shouldn’t be qualified to be teaching their young students to be successful in the future. To add to that, as a professor, his opinions on students are obviously bias as well because throughout the reading, he seems to be only focusing on his “bad” students. It bothers me that he doesn’t mention that not all students share these 7 deadly sins. There are many students out there who exceptional with the real passion to learn in the classroom to become just as, if not more successful than their parents. Overall, I think the author is really bias and even though the reading was based on the bad qualities of students, the way he writes seems like he thinks that all students possess these 7 qualities.
