When I was a sophomore in college, the professor I had for Calculus 2 was CA-RAZY! He taught at my high school & had left a year before I took HS Calculus. He always wanted us to write "in complete sentences." How you do that with math, I have no idea---and he didn't ever tell us.
He was always talking about clouds. When he would get frustrated with us, he's stare out the window mumbling to himself, then he'd walk to the chalkboard and put his head on it (while still mumbling). He would do this all the time!
He refused to actually teach us the material because he told us that we should already know the information. One test we took, was a take-home test and he allowed us to work in groups. But when we got the test back, everyone in my group had a different grade (although our tests looked identical), and then bitched at everyone for working together.
I love math, i'm good at math, and I passed with a 70. I was one of the lucky ones.
