re: college profs you absolutely despised

Spoke with a heavy French (not Cajun) accent. I had to sit on the edge of my seat and focus on every word he said because half of them I did not understand.
I had a math professor who was Chinese, and spoke in a very thick accent.
Couldn't understand a word she was saying.
I spoke with my classmates to see if maybe I was the problem, but none of them could decipher anything. It was ridiculous. A typical lesson sounded like:
"furs you puh parenth awoun vahble then mulpry. Wun vahble mulpry lie zis you tah vahble an moo it to heeyuh."
I spoke with the department head and basically told him "look, I need this class, and I'd like to pass it, but I can't understand a word this woman is saying. How do you expect us to learn from someone who can't speak English?"
His response was along the lines of "She is a brilliant woman, and we're lucky to have her on staff."
Yeah, her brilliance isn't helping me understand a word she says.
I wound up dropping the class and making it up in the summer.

Professor Hale, Advanced Accounting. Class was tough enough but he called on people all the time. If you gave the wrong answer he would basically humiliate you in class.

Vikki Mayfield, business law at UT. I had a paper due one morning and my girlfriend at the time comes down very sick and her blood pressure spiked to 200/110 - which is basically on the verge of death. I stopped what I was doing and rushed her to UTMC immediately. Got the doctor to write a note to my professor explaining what was going on. I went to the 3:30pm class that day (my class was 9am) to turn in the paper. I explained to her what happened and in the most sassy, bitchy face possible she looks at me and goes “oh no, I’m so sorry! You could’ve turned it in early. I’m going to have to give you a zero.” I stood there for a moment, then I called her a count, walked out of the spam can auditorium, and immediately dropped the class. Thankfully I only went down to 12 hours and just took a different professor the next semester.
Freshman year honors English prof Becky Bernhardt was terrible as well. She clearly hated me because I wasn’t some stuck up perfect little angel like the rest of the kids in that class. She accused me of being racist on one of my papers when all I wrote about was how African Americans value bling and outward appearance in their culture.

I liked Britt. His personal website was hilarious, he was way into dinos, D&D, and surround sound setups

Sociology 101 at Southeastern - Dr. Castro.
Communist indoctrination, pure and simple. Dude would stand in front of the class and rant about his left wing opinions for 90% of the time. I wrote a scathing letter to the President and in the student paper about that a-hole.

I feel like I've been very lucky to not have any real a-hole professors.
I liked pretty much all of the ones that I had for various reasons.
A couple of exceptions was 1) my first college advisor. Told him that I needed to meet with him, but my class schedule didn't mesh with his office hours. His response was basically "whelp, sorry kid"
2) I took a course on Intro to Project Management. It wasn't so much that the prof was mean or anything of the sort. She was just a horrible instructor. Might as well have been in high school being taught by the football coach.

Women’s Studies prof, she had an inch long pinky nail and ranted about the patriarchy needing to be demolished. I was a football player so she automatically hated me but I passed with an A in that class by giving her what she wanted.
this absolutely smells of a BS post fabricated for upvotes. too perfectly fitted for the OT. i dont believe you sir.

Mary Manheim in Anthropology was crazy as hell but a fantastic teacher.
She used to dress up like a gorilla and throw grass stalks at the students.
Another great one was Dr. Roche who taught Geology. He would smash rocks with a hammer, throw the shards at the students screaming out what type of rocks they were.

I don't remember his name, but he was one of my economics professors. Guy was an a-hole.

Cost Accounting - Dr. Bennett.
Loved to talk about all his access to football team as the faculty liason. Sucked as a professor. 35 people signed up for the course (upper level degree requirement), by drop day only 8 people remained. We had three tests. Myself and another guy alternated making the top two test grades in each test. We knew this because he announced the scores in class. No one made a grade higher than a 85 on any of his tests - they were very difficult and chock full of tricks in each problem. He then announces grades - me and the other guy get "B", everyone lese gets C,D,F. No curve at all. We both went an met with him but he wouldn't budge.

I had another professor who was Indian. He was great. He had an accent, but was very understandable. What was funny is that he would liberally pepper his speech with words like "Damn," and "Piss."
"Here is the goddamn Thyroarytenoid muscle. Which works with the goddamn Lateral cricoarytenoid muscle. Without them, your speech would be piss. PISS."
I always assumed its something he picked up while learning English and watching American tv and movies.

There was a leftist economics professor at LSU c 2001-2002 that can eat a bag of dicks. I can't remember her name but this red headed witch didn't like liberal positions being challenged.

Roussell ripped me a new one for leaving a spiral notebook under my chair during the Econ 2030 final in Cox with 600+ other students.
The room went from silent to him screaming at me and having to walk my binder down to the front and then return to my seat to continue the exam

Tamara Nauman (sp?) Organic Chemistry lab - her TAs did all the teaching and she just made the overly difficult midterm and final. Her "teaching sessions" consisted of her essentially saying it was her job to make sure we wouldn't get into medical/nursing/pharmacy etc school
I also had a Indian Physics lab TA who was all over the place and would sometimes be nice but then yell at us that we didn't care about physics or know how to do anything in lab.
He was the one that jumped off Life Sciences...

Rick Moreland was a phenomenal English teacher and I respect the hell out of that guy. I don’t know if any of y’all took a class with Rick but that guy could teach.
I did, and he was as good as a teacher as I've ever had at any level, no matter the subject. He was truly just an all around excellent guy, and you always looked forward to his class. I so wanted to take another class of his before I graduated, but never got the chance, unfortunately.
