That time a professor told me to 'just read the syllabus' and it saved my grade
Last semester at Ohio State I was panicking about a midterm and asked my poli sci professor for study tips, and she just said 'the answer's in the syllabus, read it carefully.' I blew it off until I actually dug in and found she'd listed every major theme and even sample questions right there, and my grade went from a C to a B+. Has anyone else had a controversial speaker make a point that actually held up under scrutiny, even if you didn't agree with them at first?

Wait, sample questions were literally just sitting in the syllabus the whole time?

Yeah literally the same thing happened to me in my microeconomics class. I skipped the first day and never bothered to look at the syllabus again, then spent three weeks panicking about the midterm format. Finally checked the syllabus out of desperation and there was a whole section with ten practice questions that basically matched the exam. I was so mad at myself I almost threw my laptop.
