ITT: describe your worst teacher/professor you've ever had

[Anonymous No.8593141]

Any teacher/professor who teaches because they are at a dead end and can only make bread by teaching, people like that usually ruin the whole learning experience and it's very common in pre university level courses. I often find that older female teachers do this shit.

Once had a history teacher say that people before the middle ages had never worn pants. Cited the fact that I failed my first history class (due to not doing my homework), that she traveled, and that she was the one with the master's degree as to why I was wrong. Really burnt my bottom.

I also remember in a science class in middle school how I asked if fire could freeze but I wasn't given an answer. I thought it was a decent question because I don't think anyone has ever asked it before since it's kind of ridiculous.

I have had some top-notch professors; you may have used some of their R packages, and our statistics department is full statistical computing classes. However, I took a statistical computing class in the CS department thinking it was a good idea, but that was a mistake. I ended up getting a B in the class; our final was a group final, in which the whole group received a zero. I have no idea why we received a zero and why our final was taken as a group. The asshat never replied to any of our emails. I don't care so much about the grade, as much as after the class I realized I my mind had blanks where there was previous knowledge. He had such an authoritative busy approach; it sucked your ability somehow. What he was teaching and how he wanted us to implement it was entirely questionable. I didn't learn anything since I covered the material already, but I spent all the time trying to make things exactly how he wanted it. Literally, he wanted you to think exactly like him, which is stressful in itself. I also noticed that other students were doing things incorrectly, but it didn't matter as long as you did what he wanted. I think I was the only statistics major in the class.

In high school, my trigonometry teacher actually raised her voice and told a student "that's because you're too dumb" when he said that he couldn't understand the idea of the sinusoidal functions. She had never even drawn a unit circle, she only explained the Pythagorean theorem and then shouted "SOHCAHTOA" a few times.

In college, my Physics II (waves and optics) professor muttered inaudibly to the chalkboard throughout every lecture, wrote in unintelligible scrawl, and made numerical or conceptual errors in about a third of his example problems. He would then stare at the book for a minute, and then start over without explaining what he had done wrong. He's actually a highly accomplished researcher, so it was pretty bizarre.

I'm 30. I remember my 6th Grade English teacher was basically a drill instructor. He was about 5'9" and well built. If you didn't turn in your in your homework, he made you stand up and answer "Why" numerous. Of course the kids never had a valid excuse and he break the kids down til they cried. Nobody laughed and everyone was intimidated by him. I doubt teachers can do this anymore... and honestly I'm not sure they should be able to. Call me a cuck or whatever but literally bullying kids to tears.

Four professors for a semester-long introductory course to the major material. Think Bio 1. Huge lecture hall of at least 200 kids. The main professor was also my advisor.

He made us get a shitty app on our cell phones for taking quizzes and checking in for attendance. Quizzes are random and count for about 15% of final grade, attendance is about 10%. It's clearly just a clicker but he's being paid for this so he goes along with the shitty program. Only releases slides after lecture.

You have to text or type in the app the "attendance code" to be counted. He does this in the middle of lecture for about 5-10 minutes of class.

>People just tell people who aren't there the attendance code

He starts handing out notecards where you write your name and student ID on it while attendance is up.

>People only show up right before he starts taking attendance, leave after he takes it

He responds by randomizing what time he does the lengthy attendance process. Then he goes further and throws in fake quiz questions, telling us to not answer them or what answer to put in order to figure out those who didn't come and fail them for that quiz.

I had to pay somewhere around 40 dollars for that shit when I had so many fucking clickers lying around collecting dust at home. It was such a silly crazy process to see unfold, and there was really no reason to come to the lecture.

I threw a chocolate milk up above the top shelf of the cupboards in my elementary school classroom and weeks later no-one could figure where the smell was coming from.

High school grade 10/11 science teacher. Was some short chubby fucking proto-numale who was previously a semitruck driver. Would waste time in class talking to other kids about offtopic shit like barbeques while other students were asking for help. 99% of the time explained a simple concept in an absolutely confusing way. He tried to explain how the Mole measurement works with the statement "imagine you had a tricycle. Now imagine you had 12 tricycles, but some tricycles were missing parts." This was apparently like a mole. He tried to act hard as fuck but overall I treated him like human garbage the entire year and never got in any real trouble for it. I was once kicked out of the classroom because a friend was giving a friend his pen back to him and when he looked over he thought I was taking it from him.
Fucking awful human being, I nearly failed his science class. The next year I took both Physics and Chemistry grade 12 and got 80's in both.

Should have been 90's, but I somehow blew all my fucking final exams.

Pretty famous Financial Mathematician teaching us about derivatives, black scholes all that stuff. His notes consist of notes written with thick permanent marker on those see through plastic old school projector sheets. His notes were a lame attempt at summarising the text he recommended but because of the layout of the notes a simple one page proof in the book was a 4 page mess in his notes.
Wouldnt leave the notes up long enough for us to take them down.
Made the module much more difficult than it needed to be. Trying to get him to do example/past exam questions was impossible. Shafted us all in the exam. Doesnt give two fucks as he's paid to research and is forced to have the burden of lecturing.

Senior chem teacher at high school. Somehow the best and worst teacher I've ever had. Our exit results for high school were largely dependent on our grades relative to everyone else's in the class. This caused him to just tell us the information we needed but then he'd spend the rest of the lesson just on his laptop.

He'd help us if we asked questions but he'd just spend the first solid 30 minutes of our 70 minute lessons writing blocks of text on the board. Not only this, it was poorly written text. It was correct but very fluffy and often I'd be able to summerise a board's worth of text in three sentences. He did this on purpose to force us to rewrite out notes in a better way later. It separated the weak from the strong.

He was also kinda full of himself. It was very subtle. He tried to teach us that it wasn't about pure memorisation, you should learn to look deeper and learn the processes you're supposed to use and when to apply them (e.g. even though he didn't teach math, he'd say stuff like differentiating can be boiled down to three or four processes - power rule, chain rule, product rule and quotient rule).

I was a high achiever and I'd already learned these tricks he tried to teach us but he'd tell us about it in the silliest ways. "It's literally a theoretical construct" was a popular phrase of his. Luckily nobody caught onto what he was talking about in his long-winded lectures about how to be "a better student" and it was easily for me to remain on top. His oldest son was also in the year level above us and he'd tell us about how he'd teach his kid the same things. His kid was an extremely high achiever though, our grading system had levels within the A B C D E system. An A10 was the best, an A1 was the lowest A, a B10 was one step below an A1. The guy's son got A9s in 5 subjects and his dad never shut up about it (kid himself was cool).

And in our last few weeks he screamed that we're all "shit students", punched the wall and told us to get out.

I felt really bad for my high school physics teacher. I had him for three years in a row so I could take every physics class offered. It was sad because he really knew his stuff, but he had severe Parkinson's disease. For those who don't know, in severe forms, Parkinson's can lead to heavy fatigue, hunched and otherwise deteriorated muscles, and the obvious difficulty reading his jittery notes. He was extremely slow to move about the classroom and would often fall asleep in the middle of lecturing (middle of sentences, many times). He was notorious for turning in grades late because he would always give partial credit on free response (even on final exams). He slept at school more times than I could count. By the last year, about 20% of the time he was more than 15 minutes late to our 50 minute classes. I never knew what to think about that guy because on one hand, he's really not teaching us well and not doing his job, but on the other hand his wife was in the hospital and he had 2 kids in college.

Not sure if trolling but that's basically correct. Corporal punishment was normal in schools, and getting a slap at home was not unusual.

What none of us realised was that even aside from Morris' particularly nasty perversion, the general background culture of physical punishment and random abuse at the school was much more extreme than most other schools at the time. Getting punched hard in the shoulder by Billy Knight if your gym kit wasn't perfect, and lots of kids weren't, every time; getting slippered across the ass for any number of things by a range of teachers; or Sam Wilkinson's sawn-off cricket bat. If you've been educated in recent years where corporal punishment has been outlawed in schools, you might think I'm making this up, but it's just how it was. Miserable place, took all the joy out of learning for me.

I had a Haitian calculus professor my first semester of freshman year.
He barely spoke English, was at least 75 years old, and refused to use any kind of technology.
Most of the class was him telling stories about his childhood in Haiti and trying to connect it to the things we were learning in class, when really there was absolutely zero relationship between those things.
The best part is that half way through the semester he decided to abandon calculus and instead gave us twelve page algebra and geometry equations mixed into logic puzzles that didn't really follow any actual kind of logical sense. I'm not sure how to even properly describe them, but they were impossible to finish because they relied on the professor's personal cipher that he'd created with a mix of misspelled English words and paragraphs in French (I live in the US, no one but him spoke French in that room)
I'd try to find them so I could post pictures, because honestly I wouldn't believe it if someone told me, but these were single questions based only around algebra and geometry, with an occasional simple derivative question thrown in that took up entire packets of twelve pages.
The students thought he was kidding at first. I'm still in disbelief as to how this was allowed to exist in a first world university.
Our TA was some awkward, 30 year old balding guy with what little hair he had going half way down his back. He was a huge autist with a really high, squeaky voice and would visibly sweat whenever someone would talk to him for an extended period of time. He tried as hard as he could to help the students out and actually teach us calculus like the class was supposed to, he'd even given us worksheets he printed out that contained what we were supposed to be learning every week, but there was only so much he could do.
Only time I've ever failed a class in my life, I almost lost my financial aid for good just because of that semester, and now I'm very careful about what professors I take.

Been lucky overall but there was this one prof in a composition class I took. She was tenured, didn't care, and in all honesty managed to be an absolutely atrocious writer, despite having a doctorate from some prestigious black university.

She was also a massive sadist that derived pleasure in grilling students over their writing in front of the whole class.

I ended up being a massive cuck and just copied everything she told me to do, so I ended up with an A

But in reading the papers, they were jumbled with odd deviations, and I'd prefer a C in hindsight for telling her to shove it instead.

Took Art Appreciation last semester and the """professor""" more or less made it up and she went. She'd look at the art and, at that moment, "interpret" it, then present it to the class as fact. One moment stands out in my mind when we were looking at some abstract painting of some naked ladies dancing in a circle, and she turns to the class and says "and its not known if these are women or men", then after glancing back at the painting and noticing the very obvious spheres on their chests, "oh I guess they're women". The class, for her, was really just a platform to push her garbage art

It really pissed me off that as a cock sucking EE, I had a much better understanding of art history. I corrected her a lot at first (non-autistically), but eventually just gave up. I was really bitter that I had to pay for something like this, but kinda settled with how surreal the whole thing was. Bums me out that most of those fresh-faced freshman seemed to gobble it all up, though

I had a Physics professor when I was doing a prep. course for University, i was going to study Electronic Engineering.

Me and some other guys had the same doubt about how to solve a problem, we asked him and he replied "You people are going to be Engineers, you're supposed to know how to solve this".

End of the day, he never wanted to answer us how to solve it nor he didn't even give us a headstart.

A few months after that (I was already in, passed all the tests) i found out this professor wasn't even and Engineer yet, he was just another student who was like 1 or 2 years to finishing the career and become an actual engineer.

I don't know, people who don't like to teach shouln't be teaching.

It was a programming class in C++. This was something required for my degree but never had experience in. Professor was hard to follow, but hell I didn't know anything to begin with, so I was kind of use to the experience to begin with. The issue I had would is he would scold you if he though you were not paying attention. He would regularly call on me and I just never could answer anything just because I was lost. About half way through semester it finally all clicked and I started to understand the subject, would help others out who didn't catch on, wouldn't give them the answer but explained what was needed to happen in homework. We were working probably an hour after class explaining this, he comes by and scolds me again for explaining a lesson to my friends.I came out of that class with a B, would have been an A if I caught onto the lessons quicker. Took me 5 years later to figure out I actual like programming, but he had me hating anything to do with the subject for the longest time.

Im still a novice myself, what gave me interest back into the subject was when I started working my supervisor was heavily into it. He wrote this program that would basically pull and push information into a database, do calculations of feature of work, etc.. Made my job quite easy. He also would take the time to teach us somethings, which is where I started to develop interest again. At this point I am good enough to look at code and figure out where a bug is and fix it. But not anywhere near being able to write my own code from scratch.I am still pushing to get to a decent level in development.

Career wise, programming is not my top priority in my responsibilities, however it was what set me apart enough where I turned from a contract employee to a permanent one with a good title. To give you an idea of retention rate the project I worked for, there were about 16 temp employees in my position, at the end of the contract I was one of 2 they kept.

4th Grade Elementary School Teacher: Hated kids, hated teaching, wasn't good at teaching and spent the whole school year talking about her daughter (Who from what she said seemed to be a wholly unremarkable high school student.)
6th Grade Math/Science/PE Teacher. An incompetent bitch. She sucked at teaching and she never graded any assignments. The rare assignments that were graded were done by parents who she talked into doing that part of her job for her. Of course she wouldn't have the parents come into grade anything until a month after the assignment had been turned in and she'd given everyone a zero. She also gave me detentions for reading in class. Bitch had a raging hard on for laser discs and devoted nearly a month of PE classes to dancing to Cha Cha Slide.

Grade 11, Advanced Mathematics

Only 6 of us took the subject so we got lumped in with the grade 12s. Room had two boards, grade 12s faced the front while we faced the back.

Seemed to be focused 60/40 in their favour, teacher would constantly start the 70 minute lesson by starting with them. When he was focusing on us he was always jitter and at one stage he got a sample problem teaching us some concept but got it completely wrong, crossed it out, gave us an apology and said he needed to get back to the grade 12s.

Poor bastard, was probably overstressed the entire year, which was why he probably didn't teach us for grade 12, and it was on the system of not having adequent expenseses for an Advanced Maths class for just 6 people, but still that class was fucked.

I had this piano teacher, it was a college course and I enrolled in basic piano because I wanted to learn. Most of my peers were really, really retarded at piano. I think the bulk of them had never touched an instrument in their lives. I already had futzed about on piano, and cello and trumpet and had composed simple music, so I was way ahead of the class, but still an idiot at piano.

The first time we had to perform in front of the class, I forgot the sheet music. I could play it fine from memory, but the teacher waiting until I started performing to insult me, called me an idiot for forgetting the music, and made me go back to my seat. I'm beta and shy by nature so this was incredibly embarrassing.

She was a cunt, and I never went back, and never learned piano either. I blame her.

There's a professor in my college who is an fucking faggot. Some student called him an asshole and he agreed in front of the whole class"yes, I'm an asshole".
In another semester a few students cut his car's tires.
In another semester during a test a student asked "Can I leave the Fourier indicated?" (It wasn't a calculus test, just signals and systems)
Professor: "Yes, you can."
Everybody in the class who let the Fourier indicated and didn't solve it received zero in the questions. Later when the students went to say he said they could let it indicated he said "I said you could but I didn't say it was correct."

Imagine youre learning about something simple like Diels Alder for the first time, but instead of something nice and clean like an interaction between a simple diene and cyclohexene, you get multi ring structure that takes 5 minutes to draw, and the pushing arrowd are flying all around a fucking chair structure will all sorts of shit on it.

There is no guilt without morality and no morality without your thinking about how you affect others. You feel guilt when you think you did something bad to someone you love, you feel shame when you feel your pride justifiably hurt.

My entire school career up until college consisted of teachers who ranged from apathetic to abusive; actively insulting students to humiliate them publicly for no real reason while also being actual SJWs (frequently going on ramblings about MUH WHITE MALE PRIVILEGE, the kind /pol/ always strawmans) who would also angrily, audible mutter /pol/-tier shit about jews, in a public school no less .Some would also send you to the purgatory known as the principal's office every day for weeks should you rub them the wrong way. You sat in the office literally all day doing nothing. These teachers always picked a handful of kids that could do whatever the fuck they wanted and another handful that will face the unending wrath of these cunts on a daily basis, administration gave absolutely no fucks about this, in highschool they'd do the same thing as the teachers. I had one kid constantly talk shit (loud profanity and across the room) about me during class loudly, teacher never did anything, one day I told him to go fuck himself and got suspended for a week.

I'm not a spiteful person by any means but I wish horrible things onto these abusive cunts. Once I realized how fucked up my childhood was I did everything in my power to never become what these "people" have
There were some teachers who actively went out of their way to help students, frequently did nice things for and actually [successfully] reasoned with students disrupting class or otherwise bisbehaving rather than just punishing and yelling.

The cunt teachers were always female, the bro ones were also male, go figure.

I think this story sums her up pretty well.
We arrived at the classroom a few minutes before her, and there was a sign on the door written in a black fine liner that said "Mrs fjdnei's period 1 class to G4." My friend pulled out a yellow highlighter and turned the 1 into a 4 by completing it, and crossed the teacher's name out and wrote this teacher's name above it.
The teacher waddled up the ramp to the class, saw the sign, and we had our class in G4.

To clarify those signs are left on the door by teachers moving their own class to help stragglers find the room, and are never directed to use a class with one of these signs.

General Chemistry I professor was by far the worst I ever had.

Prominent figure in researching Parkinson's cure. Guy was an absolute genius. He knew it, and made sure you knew it too.

Class was full of students not in a STEM field, basically had to take this because the college made it a graduation requirement.

First off, the class was a "backwards classroom." What this meant was that his lectures were posted as videos online, ranging from 1 hour to 4 FUCKING HOURS LONG. Class time was used to answer 3-4 questions from the textbook and to talk about how smart he was.

It didn't matter than you had 4 or 5 other courses to take. You had to sit though these multi-hour long video lectures twice a week, PLUS do any homework, PLUS do the lab report for each week, PLUS study 8 hours a week for his insanely difficult exams. Class averages were consistent 50's on exams. Lab averages were 40's because you had to follow his insanely strict format for writing lab notes.

I dropped it because it was just too insane for me. I ended up taking it during the summer with an incredibly laid-back professor.

This guy absolutely killed any interest I had in chemistry. He turned it into a semi-difficult class into one I absolutely dreaded. So happy to be done.

Whoop the fucking do, my advisor tried to fuck my girlfriend. She left school due to the harrassment, we made a complaint to the dean, he covered for him. Mfw I had to pretend not to know what's going on since he could ruin all my efforts for 3 years.Meanwhile I wrote both my and her MSc thesis at another uni.

In the end, she graduated before me, my thesis approval got delayed by year because of the animosity between the instructor and me. She left me for another guy just when I bought her a ring to propose.

But you would be leaving before class was dismissed (and also kind of rude). I thought anon was implying they started and ended classes with bells or some shit.

Had one guy teaching a programming class.

To start with, he was kind of an all around weak instructor. Didn't seem comfortable speaking in public, mumbled and was incoherent at times. Lot of uncomfortable silence during his lectures. Sort of guy you start off feeling sorry for, then gradually start to lose patience with as the term goes on.

There were a couple of little things too- like he stayed a month behind on grading, and when he did grade, he'd fail you for the slightest mistake.

But that's all standard. What really sealed him as the worst professor I've ever had? We had a snow day on the day of our final. Whole city, covered in an inch of ice. School administration announces campus is closed. Asshole instructor sends the class an email saying he doesn't care what admin says, anyone who doesn't show up for the final gets failed. Three people tried to go and got in minor car accidents. The rest of us reached out to his department head to complain.

Final was postponed and taken a few days later. His name is no longer in the staff directory.

Holy shit, you got used HARD. I'm surprised she didn't stick around just that bit longer to steal your ring too. Seriously hope you didn't go r/9k/ because of this.

And university politics are a massive bitch, too. Woe betide the lowly mortal who dares to sully the name of a top academic.

Even if he didn't remove whole topics because they don't apply to his beliefs, him saying that he does not believe in certain points is not something I think he should do, he should teach us the content and allow us to make our own minds up. It's very difficult to learn when your teacher is standing right in front of you telling you that the whole section is bull shit.

My 4th grade teacher was by far the worst teacher I have ever had. She was the description of a cranky old women, and only 2 years from retirement. She liked all the girls and hated all the boys in the class, with me in particular getting the worst of it. There was a lot of shit about her grading unfairly and barely teaching us stuff but one incident I still remember extremely clearly today. There was this state required writing exam, with you getting a grade from 0-6. It didnt count towards our grade but went on our records. The prompt mentioned we were to write it in third person but the entire year up to this point she only taught the class first person, never even mentioning that any other ways existed. Literally the entire class wrote it in first person, so she of course deducted points for it. The people that she liked (all girls) had no penalty whatsoever, while the majority of boys/girls she didnt like got brought down a score of 1 or 2, with the most anyone else getting deducted being 3. I was deducted 5 points, and as I got 5 based on the essay I wrote, she gave me a 0 for it.

Two weeks before the deadline for handing in undergraduate research (counted towards finals), research supervisor goes on holiday for two weeks. Meh, doesn't make him the worst teacher in the world. Perhaps later, getting kicked out of the profession for having kiddie porn on his computer does though. Shame, was a cool guy, well liked, not creepy, total surprise.

My current high school IT instructor. He came from the IT field, and was formerly hired for some ministry (Denmark). The state owned IT is trash to say the least.

Anyways, he only managed to do teaching 5 man-hours out of two semesters. The rest has been projects with our own research. The few times he did teach, it was about fucking pixels and color. And SCRUM, which is a meme.

He has also stated over and over again, that his actual IT knowledge is very limited. I guess he got the job because he came from the field.

My physical instructor was also trash. Luckily I only had to endure four semesters of it. I didn't learn a thing from that class. He didn't care, and he stated that our type of class (personal class) was lazy, didn't do anything right. So he managed to not give any fucks.

As for my exam, I passed. I didn't really use any scientific method. I did a project on power to heat efficiency. Got a 7/C for just talking out of my ass, with no data to prove it.

Can't wait for graduating this summer. Planning on either chemistry or computer science for university.

My intro comp sci class was taught by an Indian senior grad student who was morbidly obese, mumbled everything he said, dropped spaghetti everytime a question was asked, and didn't grad anything till the very end of the semester when he handed you back your 2 dozen hw assignments with a big checkmark on the top and A for the class, even though you know half of them were half finished and didn't even compile.

9th grade first period Spanish. Old grumpy ov3rweight gray haired lady who really didn't want to teach Spanish at all. She would hand out find the word letter grid puzzles nearly every week and have us spend the who class doing them. She would get mad at the students reading the Spanish book while letting the nignogs swear and nignog about every single class. This public school was supposedly top 10 so idk how someone like that was not let go or even hired in the first place.
