Had the entire class come to a forest to present their projects for the class after classes had ended for the semester. It was the only reading day we had that year for finals and part of the project grade was presenting. A huge fuck you to all the commuters in the class and pretty much everyone else. "Oh by the way the head of the department is here to watch you guys present". Also to add icing to the cake while we were out there it started to snow.

The only actual completely bad professor I can recall having was during my basic Biology 101 course way back in undergrad. She was a new professor but good lord. She would frequently come in 5-10 minutes late, then get upset when we would all leave when class was over--she expected us to stay even though some of us, myself included, had another class right afterward. She would read directly off her powerpoint slides and she would write fill-in-the-blank study guides but only hand them out if you attended class. It was a waste of time going to class because, again, she would never be on time and she would read directly off the slides. If she put her slides online, we could have saved a fucking trip going to class.
At that same college, I had a math professor who would mark answers incorrectly if you didn't work a problem out in the exact same verbatim method that she did.

Since beginning graduate school, I have also realized how dangerous tenure is because it allows professors to be GOD FUCKING AWFUL (e.g., one professor literally grades based on how she is feeling that day, will also give suggestions for presentations then mark off points for suggestions she never mentioned.)

had a professor that took mandatory attendance and made it part of the grade
it was an intro to programming for engineers course. i already knew programming so there was no point to go to class other than for the attendance tick and tests whenever we had them

i'd just leave right after she took attendance for half the semester, then eventually she caught on and started taking attendance at the END of class

Calculus II professor
Learned more from the book than her lectures
Writes midterm take home test
After struggling all day Friday and half of Saturday my mother insists that I talk to my father (Physicist at JPL) and grandfather (Math professor) about how to solve these problems. Both of them have the test for over 24 hours the remainder of Saturday and all day Sunday, neither can solve any of the problems
Teacher collects the tests on Monday, I did my best but couldn't answer any of them. Wednesday in class "so class looks like I made some mistakes on those questions and none of them were actually solvable. So sorry but you need to have gotten the following answers which I got despite the mistakes ..."

Get D on the test, C+ in the class, the lowest grade of my college career. I went in to English instead of science, I don't think because of that class specifically but it sure didn't help. Now I write patents for an engineering firm so it all worked out in the end. Still love science but goddamn that was a terrible teacher.

I graduated last year and got lucky finding a buddy that worked at this engineering firm that needs writers. There are tons of very good jobs for writers (my cousin works at a firm writing articles for companies for their online advertising). So don't be too discouraged by people saying English is a waste of your life etc. You can also go into law very easily with an English degree. The problem with English isn't that the degree is no good, the problem with English is it's a major overfilled with underachievers.

And don't forget David Levy, one of the world's greatest amateur astronomers is an English major

I had a chem prof (300-level inorganic chem, not intro) who, at least five times over the semester, spent about 20 minutes in the beginning of the class drawing out a large grid of squares and started writing out the periodic table by hand until about the 6th row. Obviously this a huge waste of time

My AP Physics teacher didn't really know physics all that well; he was an earth science guy but my school didn't really care about what subjects the science teachers were actually qualified for. Even though I didn't know much before starting the class, I had to explain concepts to him a couple times and he came to trust I knew what I was talking about.

Anyways, we were talking about light and wave particle duality and he showed us a video (Nova maybe) to help explain it. When they talked about particles they showed some bowling, and when they talked about waves they showed B-roll of the ocean.

Afterwards, no one (myself included) actually understood duality and a student asked about it. I piped up jokingly: "Imagine a sea of bowling balls, and the tides coming in". The teacher didn't realize I was joking and said dead seriously "yeah, what anon said, a sea of bowling balls". I didn't know how to correct him so I just left it.

Upper division ethics class teacher is total babe and little firecracker. At beginning of quarter says that she will not tolerate ANY non emergency cell phone, tablet or laptop use. Nevertheless, one of those fresh of the boat fashion driven Asian girls, literally always pulled out her laptop and browsed Facebook. First time professor told her to put it away and never pull use it again in her class. Asian bitch pulls out the next class, and the 4 next subsequent classes. Professor didn't day anything, but by the 5th time, she cracks, takes off her shoe, walks to Asian girl who's deep I'm Facebook, slaps her desk 5 times with her shoe, yells at her to show some respect and kicks her out of the class. The girl never came back to class, and I checked out the professors fantastic ass as she walked away. I still get erections thinking about it. Pic related

Magnetic fields do no work, so how can a magnet lift a piece of iron against gravity? My idiot physics professor attempted to explain that it was because your hand (or whatever is holding the magnet) is what actually does the work. No magnetic work done necessary!

Of course we asked him what happens when you drop a magnet over a piece of iron. Won't the iron rise up to meet it? Dumbass said he'd get back to us on it but never did.

In 10th grade math we had a student teacher for a few weeks. He was a 40 year old with a tangible virginity, like one week in he got bored teaching us math for the test so started teaching us some other stuff he found more interesting, this caused our entire class to fail our test. But the best part was when he pegged a whiteboard marker at a student who would not shut up, hitting him in the eye the kid shouted what the fuck, he then made the kid pick up the marker and give it back and gave him a one day suspension for swearing at a teacher.

I was in class with so many different versions of this guy. I probably saw about 10 deep fedora ringleaders in my classes and dozens of aspiring fedoras.

Every fedora atheist is out to prove how "intelligent" he is to the entire class, and especially teachers, who he will pester after class. He ends up asking a lot of questions he thinks sound profound and he also points out the smallest typos that everyone else just dismisses. There was one trenchcoat guy with long greasy hair who was always hanging with his posse of undesirables in the public square whenever I passed by.

Before we started learning literacy, we would basically write essays about whatever we wanted.
French professors always praised me on that.
Now, studying work by other retards, turns out I wasn't impressed.
Therefore, I got disgusted with writing, when it was something I was interested in.

TLDR: Could have been a writer. Shitty teacher had me out of it because I criticized her analysis of popular writers.
