On assignments I tend to be more active in class if I'm attracted to my teacher, so as to impress her (for some stupid reason). I tend to pay more attention to lecture, but occasionally just sort of zone out as my weird fantasies play out in my head.
I also tend to respect them less, expect them not to ask challenging questions on exams, and expect them to have lower standards for papers.....so I tend not to study as much and go for the easy by-the-book answers with little analysis.
Do you think it's better to have a teacher you respect or a teacher you desire?
