This semester I had the worst professor EVER. Literally, this man was the devil. I would walk out of class every day breaking out in hives because he made me so mad. Anyways..
The class is Behavior Principles, a psych class. Now, I'm a psych major, straight A's, love psychology, very interested in it, etc. I am also a junior in college, and have come to expect a certain degree of professionalism from my professors. I dress respectfully for class, pay attention, and do my work. Dr. Silberberg would come to class (1) Unshowered, reeking of b.o., (2) in dirty clothes, and (3) he would take off his shoes and socks and walk around barefoot, or sit on top of the desks. It was obvious that he was extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter, but he openly said how much he hated teaching. One time we were going over some data on reproductive habits of some obscure African tribe, and it showed that the males in the tribe thought that 14-year-old girls were the prime for mating. Silberberg made several comments along the lines of "More power to them" and "That's the idea." OR IT COULD BE PEDOPHILIA, you FREAK....
He also has had dysentary this semester,a nd chooses to inform the class of his diarrhea on a DAILY BASIS...
So I went to class last week for the sole purpose of filling out the evaluation, intending the tear this man to the ground. Everyone hates him, so we were all pumped to finally get to say it. Our evaluations are two- part: one is a bubble-sheet, filling out yes/no questions about the course. The other is a free response where you can talk about strong and weak points of the professor and the class. The professor gets those in hopes that they will give him ideas about how to better structure the course. So we're filling them out, and Silberberg doesn't leave the room (BIG no-no). THEN, he says, "You can just turn them in now. They don't matter whatsoever. I have tenure, so nothing you can say will affect me. In fact, I'm getting a 2.2% raise this semester, and your evaluations won't change that. I haven't read the handwritten sheets in 20 years, and I don't intend to start now."
ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!! I get angry just thinking about it.
