unfair professor comment

[Senusret I]

I agree with you mostly. I just don't think that what the OP described falls under "harsh criticism." I think it was a personal attack.

I had a professor who, on a weekly basis, called my poetry histrionic among other things. He just didn't like it. But he never said anything that made me think he didn't like me.

I just think from this point whatever she does should be documented.

I agree. Commenting on someone's mental/emotional state in front of an entire class is completely inappropriate.

This reminds me of a story my dad told me. When he was in first year university, his English professor asked the class on their first day what their favourite book was. My dad's classmates all answered with things with a typical pompous answer in the hopes they would impress the professor. When he got to my dad, my dad answered "The Lord of the Rings". His professor proceeded to ridicule him in front of the whole class for liking such a book. My dad never said anything, and to this day regrets not standing up for himself

The professor asked the class what their favourite book was, not what the greatest piece of literature was.

I think you should say something, Stand up for yourself.
