Whether you’ve just graduated high school, or you’re a parent continuing their education, immaturity in college classrooms affects you.
At the beginning of each semester students are given a syllabus for each class containing guidelines on how to succeed, by following simple rules such as no cell phones, attendance, and acquiring supplies needed.
What professors don’t put in the syllabus is how to behave like a mature adult. By their freshman year of college students should know not to speak when the professor is talking, raise hands, and be polite to fellow classmates. However, even some college sophomores are unable to follow these simple rules.
“I think there is a level of learning proper behavior, I think it comes with maturity, and I think a lot of our society has moved toward being less considerate of people in general,” said Matthew Werhner, professor of Earth and Physical Science, at the Dale Mabry campus.
Being a student that starts irrelevant conversation during class is not an efficient choice of behavior, because you’re disrupting others who, like you, are paying hundreds of dollars just to be there.
