College Professors...

For anyone who has been to college, you'll probably know what I mean when I say this...

The nice professors are the worst teachers out there. It's the one's that are pricks that actually find a way to make you learn something...

This semester for example. There are two classes that I love going to because I actually can understand the material. (I can't believe I just said I love going to class...) Both of the teachers are extreme hardasses and don't take anything from students. One is a good lecturer and just trucks though everything, the other has a twisted, sick sense of humor that he intertwines with his lectures. But in both classes, I never fall asleep and I never lose interest...

In all my other classes, the professors are the kindest people I know and I'm sure they are very proficient in their respective fields, but they can't teach for sh*t! I can't tell you a damned thing about whats going on in those classes. Neither can any of my friends. I mean one professor cannot keep his notes straight. The jumps back and forth between notes. He gives hour long lectures on material and then decides at the end of class to change something he told us at the beginning... RAHHH!!! Another one of my professors does not understand for the life of her that I am not an English major. Yes, I will skip your assigned reading and one page essay on that reading for my calculus test or my electronics lab. Sorry. Another one of my professors, I swear, is straight out of the Andy Griffith show. (Don't ask how I know about that show.) He lectures, makes strange out of this world comments, laughs at the math forumlas he writes on the board, and constantly mixes an "ummmmm..." in his lecture. Not that "ummm" is a bad thing because everyone does it, just imagine a very low droning sound, then repeat that 60+ times within the next hour and twenty minutes...

I just want this thirty grand piece of paper that says I know what I'm doing so I can get out of this hell hole!!!

You have sooo hit the nail on the head. Kindness does NOT a good teacher make. Good luck to you!

Ditto. I'm having that experience right know with my accounting professor. I don't think that he knows the subject that well. Alot of the students have dropped because of his lack of knowledge. It truly is disheartening to know that I'm going to have to work extra hard to get answers in this subject on my own so that I can pass. What a royal waste of my money and time.
