"College 101" or "Remember Those Terrible 80's Movies About College?"

So I'm struggling in a few of my courses this semester, and I need to figure out how to pass them. The thing is, they're pre-reqs for the course I want to get into later, so there can't be any murder involved, that'll get me kicked off campus.

So what I need is a fool-proof plan to pass my courses with high marks. I need blackmail material. I don't think I could get it normally, my profs seem like decent, hard working people. I could slowly chip away at every bit of their lives, turning their world into a horrible nightmare from which there is no awakening, forcing them to have nervous breakdowns and resign from teaching forever and alter my grades while their replacements are getting settled. Or I could just engineer a situation to get incriminating photos and have my teachers change my grades for me. Y'know, whatever.

Anyone got any ideas? Aside from togas?

By "engineer a situation" I hope you mean you will personally seduce them and place a camera.

DO IT

And try to incorporate a goat or some other four legged farm type animal if at all possible.

Whatever you do it should escalate into a high-stakes, passive-agressive game of cat and mouse that ends in some sort downhill skiing race for all the marbles.

Badger the prof with alot of legitimate questions about things you don't understand OUTSIDE of class time. This will show the prof that you are really trying to learn and the prof will be much more likely to give you a passing grade (if not the grade you want) if you happen to come up short.

If a teacher likes you, he/she/shit will go out of their way to help you. I have had some really good teachers that I eve consider friends now I am no longer in their class. They always like talking about whatever subject they teach.

Also, actual college life crushed my dreams of the 80's college movies. All I ever wanted was to ride a small tricycle drunk that some how saved my friends. Life is cruel.

Don't most pre-reqs just require Cs at the least with some promise to try harder in the future to get into the higher class?

[EVILNess]

Sadly, C averages tend to make you hace to pay for college yourself.

Just study and pay attention. Reading the textbook is probably the best advice ever. Also, so obvious that no one ever does it.

Read the course material.
Work with your classmates if you are having difficulty understanding the material. Seek out a TA or tutor if that doesn't help.
Speak with the professor(s) for additional help or insight if areas are particularly troublesome for you.
Ace exams and quizzes and homework.
Graduate with high marks.

Ding, college complete***.

I dunno, that sounds like kind of a major grind to me. He should just upgrade to a premium account and get triple XP.

That or kill steal or loot steal other players' boss spawns.

I always wondered if anybody views real life like an MMO, and ends up beating it.
