So after graduating early in December, I started taking some classes at a local community college to hold me over until I start my 4 year college in the fall. One of the classes I am taking is Political Science 102, Intro to American Government, something that I was really excited for as someone who has always been really into US History and presidents. I’ve been enjoying the class, and the professor is really good and engaging (4.2 on rate my professor based on 82 reviews). However, as of late I’ve been wondering if I’m coming off as annoying or as a “teacher’s pet”. On the first day of the class I corrected her on a typo on the test meant to gauge our knowledge on the subject (Franklin D. Roosevelt’s middle name was spelt Delanoe instead of Delano) and I have a tendency to raise my hand to mention a fact relating to the topic being discussed, such as the first Medicare card being given to former President Harry S. Truman, the representative for Brown in Brown V. Board of Education being future Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, or when the professor asked the class who the candidates were in the 1964 election I answered with both the candidates and running mates, their prior experience and home state (Lyndon Baines Johnson, the incumbent president from Texas and Minnesota Senator Hubert Horatio Humphrey vs Arizona Senator Barry Morris Goldwater and New York Congressman William E Miller). I’m just worried that I’m coming off as annoying and I want to make sure that I’m on good terms with my professor.
Edit: After posting I realized that I had mixed up William Miller with Henry Cabot Lodge, Richard Nixon’s running mate in 1960, and that he was actually from New York, not Massachusetts
