Below is the category Eli uses to determine whether he considers a Professor someone he deems worthy of being listened to. Please note these can and will change as his opinions change on them. Eli's categorisation of his professors is mostly based on his personal respect for them, which is often influenced by multiple factors, including their subject, their teaching style, and his personal interactions with them. He determines how and where they fit by;
Actually Worth Listening To
Professors in this category have earned Eli’s full respect. This could be because:
- He finds their subject deeply interesting or valuable.
- They have proven themselves to be highly knowledgeable and engaging.
- They treat students with fairness and encourage intellectual curiosity.
The professors in this category are;
These professors are adequate, though they haven’t yet demonstrated anything that would earn Eli’s stronger respect or deeper engagement:
- Teach subjects he finds somewhat useful but not particularly engaging.
- Be decent teachers, but not stand out as exceptional.
- Have qualities he respects but don’t fully connect with.
The professors in this category are;
This is where Eli puts professors he has little to no respect for. They might:
- Teach subjects he doesn’t care about or finds pointless.
- Have a teaching style he dislikes (boring, disorganised, or careless).
- Fail to connect with students in a meaningful way.
The professors in this category are;
Professors here haven’t been around long enough for Eli to form a strong opinion. They could move into any of the other categories depending on how they interact with him and how their classes go.
Professors in this category are at risk of dropping lower due to a multitude of factors:
- Repeatedly boring or underwhelming lessons
- Minor classroom decisions Eli disagrees with
- Vibes (sometimes it's just the vibes)
The professor's in this category are;
Moving Up to “Actually Worth Listening To”
A professor might earn this status if:
• They consistently prove to be knowledgeable and passionate about their subject.
• Their lessons are engaging, making even difficult or dull topics interesting.
• They treat students with fairness and encourage independent thinking.
• They impress Eli with their expertise or insights beyond just the curriculum.
Moving Down from "Actually Worth Listening To"
A professor can fall from this top tier if:
• They reveal themselves to be biased, unfair, or otherwise disappointing.
• Their lessons start feeling repetitive, uninspired, or less informative over time.
• They mishandle a situation in a way that makes Eli lose respect for them.
Moving Up to “Tolerable I Guess”
Professors in the lower tier can improve their standing if:
• They show more competence or organisation in their teaching.
• They make an effort to connect with students and show they care about learning.
• Eli realises the subject is more interesting or useful than he first thought.
Moving Down to “Why am I even here?”
A professor can drop into this category if:
• Their lessons feel completely useless or painfully dull.
• They are overly strict, dismissive, or condescending toward students.
• They consistently fail to explain things well or make the subject engaging.
Shifting Out of “As Yet Uncategorised”
New professors or those Eli hasn’t paid much attention to will eventually be placed in a category once he forms an opinion. This happens based on:
• First impressions in class.
• How well they explain concepts and interact with students.
• Whether they seem like they care about teaching or are just going through the motions.
Family Factor
Eli’s respect for a professor can also be influenced by how they treat his siblings - especially his triplets. Professors who handle Rose’s dramatics with grace or Jonah’s hyperactivity with patience may get more credit. Professors who show blatant favouritism, mockery, or laziness around them might earn Eli’s quiet disdain.
