<p>Hi parents,</p>
<p>I just got an email saying that there's a faculty dinner in our college, if students want to come, we will have to bring a professor.</p>
<p>The problem is I didn't do really well in my midterm, should I still invite my professor? Will they prefer to have lunch or dinner with A students?</p>
<p>Professors are people. Do you prefer to spend your time with A students, or do you prefer to spend your time with interesting students? While many A students certainly are interesting, they are not the ONLY interesting students! Invite the prof.</p>
<p>Invite the prof. you find most interesting. If it's a big course he may not even remember your grade.</p>
<p>Remember, if he says no, don't take it personally. He may have another commitment or want to spend time with his family. If one professor says no, ask another!</p>
<p>Invite the professor! Whether he can come or not he will take it as a compliment. It says that you enjoy the class and the prof.</p>
<p>Invite him or her. The professor might not be able to make it, but it certainly can't hurt to have the professor remember you as the student who thought he or she was their favorite! If he or she can come, relax and enjoy (and remember that professors love to talk about themselves and their research vs. your dorm parties and friends if the conversation hits a lull). Just be a good listener.</p>
<p>My H, a professor, was invited to attend a dinner at a sorority not long ago. He was flattered to be asked and had a fun time. Since it was a large lecture course, he really didn't know at that time if the students who asked him were great, mediocre or terrible students; he was happy to attend anyway. I wouldn't worry in the least about your grade.</p>
