第7章 出国留学(4)

Instead, open the door slowly and hold the handle until itshuts.

2. Never walk in front of the professor.

Not only it is rude - it also makes the professor lose theirtrain of thought. If it is a larger classroom, doing this couldmuffle the professor's voice for those sitting in the back.

3. Don't make an announcement that you are late (or anydisruptive comment).

This is the quickest way to irritate your professor. It’sinappropriate to raise your hand to say that you are late andwould like to know what is going on.

4. Make it your responsibility to find out what you missedafter class.

If you immediately turn to the students around you, it isdisrupting their concentration and note-taking. Instead, ask ifyou can see their notes after class or before the next meeting.

The professor will have extra materials at the end of class andcan quickly tell you the main announcements.

5. Apologize for being late, but skip the long-windedreason why.

Simply tell the professor that you are sorry and emphasizethat you will try to make this a one-time occurrence. Honestly,it really doesn't matter if you overslept or couldn’t find aparking spot. The long reasons why you were late are usuallysaid in a way that makes you look irresponsible.

If you know you're going to be late in advance (e.g.,you have a doctor appointment), it is courteous to email yourprofessor before class. In your email, state when you expectto arrive, let the instructor know you will come in quietly andstate that you will take responsibility for finding out what youhave missed.

上课迟到后必须遵守的5条礼节

你一旦迟到了,就是迟到了,没有什么可争辩的。如果迟到的你没有打扰课堂的话,教授会更原谅你。遵守以下5条教室礼节,教授会感激你还能来上他的课的:

1.悄然走进教室,到后排坐下(或坐过道的座位上)

如果匆忙跑进教室,所有人将会被你大大的开门声和脚步声所打扰。相反,你应该轻轻开门,轻声关门。

2.不要从教授面前走过

这样的行为不但粗鲁,而且会打断教授的思绪。如果教室很大,会挡住教授的声音,后排就听不到。

3.不要因为迟到而作公开声明(或打断性评论)

这种行为最易于激怒教授,不要举手发言询问因为迟到而落下了什么内容。

4.课后,自己去寻找迟到了落下的课程内容

如果立即询问周围的人,询问落下的课程内容,就会分散他人注意力。应该在课后或下次课前再问。 教授会在课堂快结束时发相关材料,并作总结。

5. 为迟到而道歉,但不要长篇大论地说明原因

简单明了地告诉教授,你感到抱歉,重申下次不迟到。说实话,睡过头或找不到停车位等解释为什么迟到的理由,让你看起来很没有责任感。

如果事先知道要迟到(比如看医生),给教授发一件邮件是很有礼貌的。在邮件中告诉老师,你会什么时候到,悄悄入场,还有自己想办法补课。

6. Is this lecture going to be finished soon?

讲座快结束了吗?

7. I always feel sleepy in this boring lecture class.

在这索然寡味的讲座课当中,我常常犯困。

8. Have you previewed all the materials that the Professor handedout last time?

你预习了教授上节课发的材料了吗?

9. When does the Professor start to call the roll?
