Things lecturers hate about students

Jon Dale summarises a Times Higher survey of academics' frustrations with students as follows:

• Poor written English, especially punctuation.
• Propensity to complain and to take complaints to extreme levels.
• Plagiarism, expecially online.
• Preoccupation with marks.
• Failure to understand the difference between learning and being taught.
• Students who fail through laziness, then try every available trick to get back in.
• Students who don't attend lectures.
• Lack of independent thinking.

I know students who have done all of these things... (I'd like to think I managed to avoid at least some of them though).
