How Not to Start a Conversation with a Professor

A student left a message on my office phone today asking about art history classes. She said she was done with her "hard classes" and now was ready to take her "easy classes". Well, then you definitely don't want to take any of my classes. I've brought enough "hard classes" majors to tears to know you really don't want to come in with the attitude that this is going to be one of those "easy classes". It's an awakening I'm happy to give.
