Your Worst Professors

[ZTAngel]

Here we can talk about those professors of ours that seemed to have come from Hell and ended up teaching at our university.

Here's my story of my awful professor.

Last spring, I took this sociology class with a new professor. This man walked around with his attitude about 10 feet in front of him. I will never forget when he told the class that we had an essay exam that Friday. Everyone came in ready to take the test. He told us that we had to write about three pages worth on the exam. Well, we arrive and he says, "I don't feel like sitting here for an hour. This is a take home test. It's due Monday. But, since it's take home, it needs to be 12 pages with cites." That was the weekend of my formal! I had no time to write this paper.
He would lecture on-and-on for a good 45 minutes and then ask for any questions or comments. You'd make a comment, he'd listen to everything you had to say, and then insult you for five minutes straight and make you feel like a piece of dirt that's at the bottom of his shoes.
I didn't do so well in that class and, unfortunately, he is the only professor that teaches it so I am pretty much stuck with the grade. Me, an A/B student, had a D in there. I thought it was just me until I talked to a few other students that took a class with them to find out that maybe 2 out of 50 students received above a C. And they still let him teach!!!!
The emotional scarring may fade away but the D on my transcript won't.
