Stellar thread...

Okay, My worse-prof story is an accumulation of several events throughout the course. Good Ol' Deisman who was neither good nor old was the professor I had for Policing II...Like many others in the class, I had him for the prerequisite Policing I, first semester of last year. He was fine the first time around, what happened...who knows.
First Event - three weeks into the class He had to revamp the entire syllabus because what he wanted to teach was not what the faculty wanted. So, all the readings and required texts got changed and in most cases were assigned just a few days before the next class.

Second Event - we had this garbage critique essay due a week before spring break. Well, (at this point I should mention the prof loves email-interaction among the class, extra-curricular crap, feedback, etc.) apparently the class didn't fare so well on this essay in which 1/3 failed. I geuss Deisman thought those who failed would enjoy being told via email during spring break. Or maybe they would enjoy it even more being singled out in class, first day back - which he did. That same day, he kept going on and on and on about how bad the essays were and how a third year class should know how to write essays, blah blah blah....this went on for about 10-15 minutes in which case Wade was laughing the whole time....I didn't think it was that funny, but the prof did.

Third Event - we had these group projects to do, my group chose aboriginal policing. At the end of the course we had a write-up on our project with no subjected criteria...whatever happened, the message was misconstrued so that about 70% of the class believed the write-up would only be a page from the group. Last class, one week before it was due and one and a half-week before the final exam he told us that this write-up would have to be at least 30 pages...?
Where he came up with this S%*& I still don't know....anyways, there were a few browners that supported this bullS@$* and two groups out of 9 that were the most vocal in the matter.

The conclusion: some students went to the dean who gave Deisman hell but the paper length still stood the same. Side note, the groups that contradicted what he said had the 2 lowest grades in the project presentation and group paper (mine was one of these). Even though our group had by far the best presentation, and we went first....whatever.

...so there's my worse-prof story, i'll be bumping this thread up in the next few weeks because I got stuck with Wade next semester for a 3rd yr. Compulsory Sociology course...brutal.
