^^^ Ditto on what Senusret said. What a crazy prof! I think someone in the department needs to be aware of this situation.

I had a trig teacher at my high school (it was for math and science nerds, and let's just say, I was there for science!) who I just couldn't understand. I had always done pretty well in math before, but her teaching style and my learning style were not meshing. I tried really hard, but to no avail. One day, she got fed up with me asking "ridiculous" questions and actually called me stupid in front of the class. I was mortified. I didn't know what to do, and I finally decided that I needed to confront her. I told her that I was trying my best, and that I believed it was just not a compatible match between our styles of teaching/learning. She thought I was lambasting her teaching ability and basically got all huffy. I HAD to tell the dean about everything that had gone on, if for nothing else, to cover my own you-know-what for what I had said. I actually received a lot of support from him. I hope whatever you decide to do to work this situation out that everything will end peacefully and positively.

^^^Co-signing with them. Also show them the original email you sent her as well as her response. This is just crazy; I will suggest trying to address the issue before dropping. You may also want to see if she is the only one teaching that course if it is one you need. I may be wrong but we would have had a face to face "conversation" immediately following class. Don't let that ride...seriously. You are investing too much time and money to play games with people like that.

Also, check your student rights & responsibilities handbook. At this point, if you haven't been, you need to be documenting everything---she is the one with issues...

Wow. I'm so sorry she is doing this *hugs*

Get in contact ASAP with your dean and dept chair and let them know what happened, show them the e-mail that you sent and her reply. If you have a good friend in that class have him/her ready to back you up if need be.

I've done it before on a professor, as much as I hated doing it, a few of us went at once that had issues with her, there is strength in numbers.

Make an appointment, see them in person... and bring whatever documentation you have with you.
