#16 Practice Dissent

Keep your profs on their academic toes by pointing out every flaw, mistake and decision they make. This also includes bringing up typos, mispronunciations and grading. Most importantly, be sure to challenge every grade you get. Marking is an experience, and if your teacher is burnt out by the time they get to your paper (common if you are either very tardy, very on time or have a last name like Zuckermann), they are more likely to skimp on actually accessing your work.

Be sure to apply this theory to all assignments you hand in, but especially those you don't. How are they sure they didn't lose it, right?
