This\u00a0PHD Comic<\/a> is really brilliant. That you should not address a professor as \u201cYo\u201d is not something that is ever on a formal test. It is thus the kind of thing that is missed by the student who thinks that the point of education is to study for the tests. Your future employers will\u00a0more likely be impressed that you tried to learn another language and got a \u201cC\u201d than that you stuck to easy material or one specific area of concentration and got all \u201cA\u201ds.<\/p>\n
