Have you ever had a bad professor?

Question

Answer

Yes 🙈 I took early childhood education in college. We had a prof who it was her first as a prof, until then she'd been in an ECE and working with young children.
She spoke to us as of we were toddler. Didn't explain assignments well and then had a couple tantrums because we didn't understand. One assignment the whole class misunderstood in the same way and she told us we were all lazy, when she just wasn't clear. 
A few of us actually went to the department head and spoke to her about it. She did improve a bit after that.

Answer

Haven't been to college or uni yet but have had several horrible teachers in the past. Some never actually taught class unless they were being observed, some were bad at teaching and blamed the kids for being stupid, others were good or ok at teaching but were treating students horribly (racism,  sexism, or just simply becausethey were the "bad kid" in other classes).

Answer

Yes I actually walked out and cried it was so bad.

Answer

Had a professor for Human Anatomy. About 3/4 of the class failed, including myself. The ones that passed had no job, no kids, no big responsibilities and no other classes. It seemed like that class was set to fail. She was new, had just gotten her degree/credential to teach. She claimed that we all had to go through what she went through with that class. I retook it with a different prof and passed with flying colors, while working 60 hours a week and 2 kids. Anatomy isnt easy but with a good prof, you can pass no matter the circumstances.

Answer

I had a professor basically call me out in class saying that when you write an essay you should draw conclusions based on what the text is telling you, not come to a conclusion and then find evidence to support your theory. He also said you shouldn’t use big words you don’t understand to make yourself sound smarter than you are while giving me a pointed look. The only reason he said this is because I successfully argued in my essay against his own point of view on the text. I got a C in his class because god forbid I not agree with his interpretation. Still pretty resentful of that. I also had a philosophy professor completely mark one of my answers wrong (0/6 points) even though half of my answer was correct, and he refused to change my mark when I pointed that out. He also played favourites so half of the students hate him and the other half don’t understand why.

Answer

I had one who scared the shit out of me. You could never tell if he was joking or not and you can tell he did it on purpose and would get all pissy if you didn’t take him seriously. He was funny at times, but also just a jerk. He had favorites, which is fine, but it was annoying to always hear him yelling at other students and trying to embarrass them when if it was a favorite of his, he would laugh. I learned some great information from his class, but I also learned unnecessary things. He was my advisor for a while and I tried being nice to him. I asked him where he was from (he had a strong southern accent and I have family from the south). He gave me the worst death stare, answered “Georgia,” and completely changed the topic. Eventually, I’ll have to have an interview with one of the professors before I go to my internship, and I’m so afraid it will be him. 
I also had a professor who made me cry during a zoom meeting lol. I was going through some medical issues and it definitely affected my schoolwork. Which I understand why she would need to ask. But she kept asking about what medication I was taking and weird questions about my doctors appointments that wasn’t necessary for her to know. And she was asking meanly and with a shameful tone. I can’t wait to just be done with it. I still have two years.
