Professionalism
College is supposed to prepare students for a "real world" job. What most don't realize is that this not only includes teaching us the information needed for our chosen careers, but also preparing us to conduct ourselves as professionals.
One thing I've learned through my classes and internships is how to be polite in a meeting, whether it be in class or on the job. In the class setting you should always raise your hand before speaking. In the office it can be a little different. You may not raise your hand in a meeting, but you'll wait your turn and not interupt others. I've noticed in class some students don't follow this rule of proper class etiquette. I think that some students need to realize that they can't just shout out things whenever they want. It interrupts others and causes some to never get called on, let alone the fact that it's rude, and it won't fly in a meeting at a real job.
