Currently I am wrapping up my bachelors degree in photography and wish my fellow students could take these rules to heart. All-so-often I hear students the negative comments and complaints about teachers, classes and everything else that isn't 100% handed to them on a platter. Multiple times I've heard the expression "Ya, I took that class but I didn't learn anything from that teacher." (RULE 2) It's our responsibility to learn, experiment and grow through the process, and our professors are in their positions for a reason. Trust them and do your part. "Pull" whatever insights and knowledge you can while your still in the student's seat.
WORK.
