r/Maliciouscompliance An ENTIRE College Class Reported Their Toxic Professor
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 5. 09. 2021
- r/Maliciouscompliance OP gets stuck with an incredibly lazy, toxic professor who refuses to actually teach the subject matter to his students. To make matters worse, he's one of those professors who intentionally fails a certain number of students every semester. OP gets tired of dealing with his professor's attitude, so he orchestrates a secret meeting with his fellow students where they ALL agree to file official complaints against the professor. This causes the dean to personally get involved!

yeahhh Profs should not be proud of failing students.....that just means they're terrible teachers and it makes me wonder why they even teach in the first place
Hi
Unless it's legit. Engineering paths have an attrition rate of 50% for a reason. And even then there are plenty of incompetent people that get through 4 years of classes
@@torfinnjohnsrud793 Yeah, especially with the high workload. I used to do 7 course semesters and had a 1 hour commute each way. That ended up killing me and I transferred to business where I have more flexibility in planning my semesters.
@@torfinnjohnsrud793 that doesn't change the fact that a person whose job is to literally teach people... Has no business taking pride in kicking people to the curb...
Imagine if the ending to BART GETS AN F was that Mrs Krabapple *BRAGGED* about making Bart cry...
Teachers... TEACH... not DESTROY
"My course is so complicated and hard, half of the students I teach, fail."
Says the teacher that did not make the material understandable.
It is shocking if you knkw where to look, there would likely be a professor that can teach the secrets of the universe to a first grader and the kid would understand it.
Now THAT is class bonding.
đYep
Z- zhongli?
Dr J: so i failed you because i need you to fail, even though you should pass
OP and the bois: *reports Dr J*
Dr J: *suprised pikachu face*
I've always hated teachers like that and they're typically proud of the fact that so many students fail their class. I've always said that if a lot of students regularly fail a class, it isn't that they're bad students, they have a bad teacher.
100% agree
Teacher here: Your observations are correct. :-)
@@Una1 , why not change those facts if you are in a position of power yourself?
@Pax Humana Are you suggesting that a single teacher has the power to fix all of the bad teachers? You can ensure that youâre a good teacher, and maybe affect some of the teachers around you to a limited extent, but itâs not like one teacher magically controls all of the others.
@@paxhumana2015 Thereâs world hunger.
Why donât you change that if youâre in a position of power?
Gotta love how colleges treat most failing grades as the student's fault and not the failure of the professor to teach. Especially in classes where EVERYONE is doing poorly
That's because MOST failing grades in college ARE the student's fault. This case is an obvious outlier. The vast majority of college students who fail, fail because they didn't have the self-discipline to actually do their work and go to class. I was one of them. None of my failures in college were the result of anything other than me not working hard enough.
@@SRosenberg203 If the majority of students are failing the same class, that is clearly not on the students. That is a malicious prof that had grading standards that are far too high.
@@SRosenberg203 If like 10% are failing, it's the students. If 50% are failing, it's the teacher being poor at teaching. If 90% are failing, it's a teacher failing them on purpose.
I had a midterm in organic chemistry one time that 69% of the class failed, and 82% received below 60% and the prof tried to blame the students. Itâs ridiculous, I know organic chemistry is a really hard course but those numbers should never be acceptable, I knew ppl with 4.0 GPAs that failed.
@@newfie1613 I had a human anatomy and physiology course where people who were otherwise 4.0 students received a 'C' from this one particular instructor and only then because they studied for hours on end testing and quizzing each other. they new the material. The professor's tests were deliberately too difficult. I dropped the course, as for me it was an elective.
I was interested in learning the material, but did not need for my major. I did not want my GPS to suffer due to a class I did not technically need.
Sadly in my country the whole class can report a professor and it wouldn't change a thing, I've seen it happen.
well, you know what they say:
"He who makes peaceful reform impossible, makes violent revolution inevitable."
Once in my Uni, another CS professor got an an 20+ page manifesto written by the year group above me detailing his incompetence. Keep in mind this was over 80 people. He got removed from a couple courses but that was it
yeah its the same thing in the india
Is that a country problem or a school problem?
We don't really have professors in Sweden but I had one lecturer who was plain awful. Good at her job, she was a journalist, but a bad teacher. We could check information and deadlines on an online platform. Everyone had done this for an assignment given by a different teacher and handed in the assignment according to that information.
This woman spent 20 minutes lecturing us about turning in the assignment late, despite us following the instructions available to us. We even tried to explain this to her but she didn't care. We still had her for rest of the course but several of us did complain about her.
Tenure should be so the people whose classes arenât taught any more have job security, not for the people who donât really teach the class any more.
I am so lucky the one professor who we had on tenure in my department was an absolutely amazing person, and absolutely loved students (the class and him would go out for beer on occasion). Then again, thats probably why he kept getting his tenure extended.
A professor who fails half their class on purpose is like having a chef who intentionally poisons their food and shuns others for getting sick eating it.
Professors like that are the reason why my gf is not motivated to go back to university. Come on, students are supposed to be there to learn, not be a "Professor's" stress relief
No. Students are there to give ridiculous amounts of money to the university to fund all those tenured professors.
I have my BS in Comp Sci and a masters in information security...the OP's description of tenured profs is close 70% accurate across the board. From my experiences I should say. It's really sad. My entire masters program was a joke and if not for my 4+ years of info sec professional experience, there's no way I would have gotten through. Even worse were the profs that taught REQUIRED courses for sooo many degree tracks. My worst ever was my Physics I prof. This man did LESS than the story from OP but he was able to survive without a mutiny because he curved so ridiculously. I, no joke, had a barely 30 average in the class and it was curved to C+. He got a bug up his ass a few years after i had him and failed like 80 percent of one of his sections and the lawsuits came in. A quick retirement decision for him and the school just gave everyone Bs in the course lol. Higher Ed can be a joke...I still work there lol
@@Supes_BBQ , I think that universities and colleges, as well as schools in general, need to quit peddling biases that are on the left, right, middle, and fringe (e.g., Flat Earth theory, Evolution, the LGBT movement, Atheism, critical race theory, etc.) as "required education (because all of that fucking bullshit is honestly not only flat out useless in the real world, but it is also cult-like indoctrination)", they should quit teaching to the quizzes, tests, and examinations, and they should focus on not just more realistic education paths, but that they should also become more individualized, and that they should also legitimately prepare people to live in the real world. Also, schools should be supporting entrepreneurs of all ages, as well as conventional businesses, and that they, meaning the schools, as well as the places that the schools are located, also need to become the modern day equivalent of the old "industry towns", which is when a town is built up around the businesses, as was the case in the Industrial Revolution, but, instead, do it with schools at the center of the business production in a town or city, as well as the businesses that it helps support, thus making it not only harder for businesses to fail, but that it also makes it easier for schools, and, in turn, businesses, to support themselves and their local economies, thus also making lower unemployment rates, and thus also making good amounts of businesses with good paying jobs towards their workers, making good resumes and CVs for their employees, making more practical and real world experience (which, by the way, could also technically qualify as an equivalent of typical teaching degree experience in this new hypothetical situation) be applicable to actual teaching positions, and to also make more anti-drug/alcohol/destructive lifestyle courses for people in these places.
Itâs worse; all that money for overpriced books and unneeded courses goes to cover bloated administrations, so-called âequityâ and âdiversityâ departments, âwomenâs studiesâ degrees that teach very little realistically, and useless investigations into allegations that should go to police and sheriffs departments.
@@2themoon863 ?!
I also had a tenured professor who also taught a computer class for 20+ years, but unlike the jerk in the first story, was super laid back and didn't really give a heck about anything, was helpful when you needed it and overall was a chill guy. Professor in the first story had it coming. If you earn tenure, don't abuse it!
I used to teach pharmacology and pathophysiology in college, and if half of my class failed, I would've had a heart attack. I used to calibrate the tests carefully and be fully transparent about class performance statistics with everyone. Good students get useful insight into it, but bad students get shut down when they start whining as well.
One time, a quarter of my class earned D's and F's. I felt so dejected. It had never happened before. I told all the faculty in a department meeting, to let them know the next group of students need more support.
@@docmarmalade5224 , sometimes, it is not your fault, but, rather, it is also the fault of other teachers in the lives of the students as well. Now were the students simply horrible at learning or were you simply horrible at teaching?
@La dosis, why did you quit teaching?
@@paxhumana2015 Management, mostly. More and more work and less and less autonomy. For little money, too. At the end of the year they offered me full time again, but I was interested in part time only (far less administrative work). I switched back to full time clinical work- just in time for the pandemic. With online learning it's even worse, huge classes with little to no support from the university. Hard as the hospital is these days, my academic colleagues aren't faring much better.
Pax Humana this particular group was horrible at learning. That's why it was so shocking. Most of the time the D and F rate is about 2 to 3%.

The landscaping analogy in the first story kinda works, but it's far, far worse than that.
A bad landscaping job costs you money and a bit of inconvenience, whereas an inept, lazy professor can have repercussions that last for decades - they can literally wreck your life.
If i am correct it could cause you to either repeat a year so an extra year of student loans OR cost you a scholarship which means you have to get more loans and america loves having expensive school fees which means that one student loan could set someone back by 5 years at minimum financially
The first story spoke to my soul! I had a terrible professor back in university over 20 years ago. She could do what she wanted and though I didnât fail, my two scores from her severely hurt my overall GPA. The two class changed my professional choices and she was free to continue on to other students. The revenge in the story was wonderful. Ty.
First story: I had a teacher like this. But shhhheee "was an editor for a newspaper so" sssshhhhe knew what she "was talking about." đ I was grateful to even get a C. Most got a D in the class. Like 75 percent. And because she technically didn't fail everyone, she got away with it. Tenure is like a shield for legitimate complaints. Even with a whole classroom full of them.
If you still have that teacher take it to another teacher that teaches the same course if you get a different response than report it to a higher up and get loads of evidence.

That busboy was awesome. I would've waited for them to leave and then said. "Walk away slowly baby, so we can ALL watch."
Professors keep forgetting that they're getting paid to teach really quickly, and maybe it's time students started reminding them that we spend thousands to take that class, and they would be out of a job if people stopped taking their courses.
Tenure was added to give teachers academic freedom, so that they were able to teach students without being forced to abide by any political ideology that a government or the University's/College's administration tries to enforce. HOWEVER in recent years/decades it has been exploited by lazy or bad actor professors for their own benefit (i.e. doing bugger all and not being able to be fired)
being fired isn't enough, they need *a fitting punishment*
Ironically, that is probably why the country is in such a shit spot, because they make everything political
One of my professors said that I didn't pay for the service, the GI Bill did. Then I asked him if he knew what I had to go through to get that GI Bill, and he was silent. Some people just like being pricks.
I would have sued that professor for a bunch of charges AND had gathered physical evidence to back up my claim. He would not be allowed to ever enter into the teaching field ever again.
Whats a gi Bill?

@@izabelarodrigues8894 I guess you weren't from the US. It's a pretty well known program here. Recruiters come to high schools and use that as a selling point to get kids to enlist in the military after graduation. It was a program that started after World War II, when there was a sudden influx in the American workforce of all these returning veterans, so the idea was developed to send many veterans to college so they can find some of these new jobs, that were starting up. It was one of the programs that led to America's success economically, in the 1950's and 60's.
I will never understand teachers that make it a point of pride failing half their class. That's basically admitting to being a crappy teacher.

I had a teacher in graduate school that ran a course made by another professor. After taking 2 years off, she came back to teach the course but didnât bother to review the material. Little did she know the professor who wrote the course had *completely* reworked it. She graded all of us using the old syllabus. Sheâd have entire class sessions where she talked about readings we werenât actually assigned or subjects that were no longer part of the course. When we tried to tell her she was wrong, literally quoting the syllabus, sheâd yell at us and give us poor participation grades.
Halfway through the semester weâd had enough and all 115+ students reported her. Apparently in the meeting they held she did the exact same thing, using her old syllabus to teach and was humiliated. At the end of the semester we were all given As and she was let go.
It's amazing how many fast food/retail job horror stories contain the phrase "And then we got a new manager," right before everything goes downhill. I've even experienced one of those.

That teacher: If I were a surgeon, I'd be proud of 70% of my patients dying.
i love when my students ask for extra credit and i have to explain to them they haven't even handed in the regular credit work lol
What amazes me is that some teachers fail to understand that having a lot of students failing your course reflects on your capability to teach, that means you're a bad teacher!
Prof: There are many ways I Grade my class.
Me: So you're outright admitting that you don't Grade Fairly...Cool...hey Admin, have I got a story for you!
That walk backwards slowly thing was SO good! Perfect mallicious compliance and shaming them in the right way, then the busboy was the cherry on top. Really taught them all a lesson.
Something my teacher taught my class: if your professor boasts about having a hard class and never passing anyone, drop the class asap
My lecturer for motion graphics: âonly 5% of my students ever pass this class!â What? Is that meant to scare me into not doing your class? Arenât you meant to help studentâs pass? Not scare them into submission? I bounced after 1 lesson!
One of my favorite professors in college, was my sociology teacher. Why? His other job was a mortician, and he had some awesome stories.
I have litterally used that exact analogy talking about teachers or professors. But that was about those teachers who take pride in saying "most of you will fail my class", and that is tantamount to the teacher saying "i'm bad at my job". Like if a chef boasted that if you eat their food you will get sick.
I know someone who worked at a fast food chain. His old manager would let him do whatever at night when there was nobody there. When he got a new manager, he told him if he's not serving people he needs to clean. He kept the shop spick and span, so one of day he had nothing to clean the manager told him to scrub the walls clean. Cue malicious compliance. He had no customers for two hours and managed to strip a layer of paint from "one" of the walls. The store then needed to be repainted, because the walls weren't the rights colors.
Your comments about the professor are SPOT ON!! I attended art school stuffed to the gills with "old guard" teachers who actually refused to teach on principle. They'd require students to have certain tools in class each day, but would never show how to use them. An assignment would be given applying a new technique no one had ever heard of that we were left to figure out on our own. One good teacher gathered us around his desk to show us a technique and a couple students had to stand watch at the door to make sure nobody saw him doing it. The mindset was, since the old professors had no one to teach them when they were kids, then their students shouldn't have it any better. When this do-nothing approach was criticized, I heard one prof say, "Well, I put food in the bird feeder, but I don't hand-feed the birds." Are these birds paying hundreds of dollars per credit hour to attend your private bird feeder? Is your livelihood dependent on whether those birds eat or not? Do your job, you grouchy old crow. Students can stay home and guess for free.

I'm a pretty good artist and straight A student my whole life and he gave me a C, which put me in danger of losing my scholarship. We all, the whole class complained, appealed our grades and the professor ended up losing that entry level class. The mutiny was also led by a guy who was given an F in the class

Yeah my mom, a teacher, really hates others who dont try to teach and brag about how hard the class is. Teachersâ and professorsâ job are to help students learn and grades are there to determine how well the student is progressing and understanding. If students arenât understanding, teachers should be looking if the student is struggling or if it something on the teachers end (or if the student just isnât trying). If it is a lot of students it is probably something in the teachers end.
I had a teacher in middle school that blamed us when only 5 out of nearly 30 passed a test. The only reason I was one of them was thanks to my sister who was in high school at the time.

1st story: I understand exactly why these teachers take pride in failing half their class or making it as tough as possible: they like having power and lording it over people, but they don't have the ability to become a politician or someone in law enforcement, so they become a teacher in order to screw with people legally, especially younger people
2nd story: My guess is that when Big Fat Jane was saying her husband is a "police officer", what she meant was that he works in the police station, but doesn't really have all that much authority or even have that many friends
3rd story: Sending people bad products for free and offers of more stuff in exchange for a 5-star review sounds illegal, either against the law itself or against Amazon's terms of service as a seller
4th story: Gotta love when co-workers stick up for each other in a way that won't get any of them in trouble
5th story: My guess is that OP said or did something that their boss didn't like, and that's the reason the boss kept targeting them. Either that or the district manager mentioned something about OP being a good candidate for getting promoted once they turn 18 and the boss wanting to make them look bad while still having them work there (after all, free labor is free labor to these people)
3 It's explicitly against Amazon's ToS (as in this thing in particular is mentioned as not allowed), whether it's legal or not I have no clue.
Once, our University hall witnessed the fight that entered our epic tales from University. The professor who failed many of their student (to the point someone had to transfer to finish their degree) agaist professor Awesome.

Some people really enjoy having power over others. Especially over people younger than themselves. It's messed up.
Those sub-human scum not only need to be removed from their positions of power, but also from this mortal coil.
I remember we threatened a mass class cancellation once. The prof was a biatch on wheels, and the course was only one credit. She wouldn't let anyone in the classroom if she was already there, but would consistently be late or a no show at 7am on MONDAYS. What sort of power trip she was on we never knew, but we did succeed in taking the topics she didn't teach out of the tests and she came on time for the last third of the semester.
"biatch on wheels" XD
The last one proves how involved the parents actually want to be in their kids lives
Fortunately at the university where I work, there is a lot of incentive for faculty to provide a high level of engagement with students. Junk professors donât make it very long as they are evidenced out pretty quickly.

You shouldnât be a teacher if you donât genuinely want to help people learn. I really hoped for that petty professor to be fired. Teachers are supposed to help people not be petty.
Tenure is there to protect teachers/prof from lies a student may say. That is soooo aggravating that the prof treated students that way Good for OP for standing up to the prof
hearing that first story makes me SO glad I've never had a professor like that, it's sad that there's teachers/professors like that, especially in college when YOU'RE paying THEM
I've had like one of those and two incapable but not truly bad ones (one of them graded randomly and it took two more years to get him out on counts of sexual harassment, the other inflated the grades so that nobody would fail once he realised that literally I was the only one still coming to his lectures by the end of second semester). For that one bad one we did petition, and I've never heard whether something actually happened.
Drinking Coffee and listening to RSlash and getting all the *T E A* đđ” helps me get through the day âš
He just yeeted that teacher's courses, an absolute mastermind.
The first story. One thing to point out about college is that just the fact that someone has to pay for it is insane. I live in Sweden and I'm currently studying engineering, but here it is totally free. You even get money from the government to do so. If I had to pay money just to earn a degree then I would definitly not do it. Cause even here most courses you have to take won't be extremly usefull. It is more that your degree kind of proves you have got wwhat it takes to solve problems in the specific field you study.
people still pay for it, of course.
But for some reason, it's cheaper in European countries.
The problem is, often in USA, the government is so massively incompetent that they actually increase the price and decrease the quality.
Best example is actually college:
The (private)colleges set the price, the government foots the bill, the students have to pay it back.
Stop me if you see the problem.
Even in Brazil we have some universities that are free but, been realistic, the people who really has access are the same people who can pay for education (in theory, most or all should be free, but because of corruption, the public ones now gets not even the minimum to sustain, that way, private school can be competitive and put their prices where They want). So it's very hard to get in (and even so, it's not a garante that the course is still good), so the majority of the students are people who studied at the best schools and have the money to live in there (you still need to pay for the books, a place to live, food, etc) which in a city as SĂŁo Paulo is expensive as hell. So at the end of the day, free is never really free (not only that, most of internship program nowadays are looking for people who study from home, because they don't need to be concerned about the time of the classes, if the student will be late, etc.). Even if the private one is not so good, they prefer it (and they can pay less because they know most of the students of X university don't have the knowledge they should have at certain semester).
Schools need to be free worldwide. Also, fuck the paid website subscriptions and paid textbooks because they are also fucking con jobs that are not only wrong, but also obsolete, on their information that they contain.
@@NinaFMoretti , that is why you remove the corrupt assholes from power and you massacre their supporters.
@@paxhumana2015 yes, but it's a little more complicated than that. Religion, corporations and big farmers have a LOT of influence (I mean, some places still don't have the basics, including documentation and electricity) and they know what and how to talk (sometimes with violence). So people has a big difficult to understand some basic problems (they don't even know their rights), like "no, it's not ok the wife of the president having a public job". People are os strike in numerous cities, and tomorrow there's a lot of manifestation, BUT this kinda of information don't get to everyone, or it's gets modified.

My high school chemistry teacher was like that. He'd hand out the assignment at the beginning of class, then 'go for coffee' and come back just as the bell rang. He'd barely mumble through lectures once a week. He'd give simple examples on assignments, then extrapolate to the advanced problems on tests. I didn't even do enough of the final exam to pass.
Turns out NO ONE, not one student, passed the final, and they had to grade it on some wicked curve because I somehow ended up with a 73%, and he didn't return the following year.
I had a thermodynamics summer course, that was a prereq for many Fall only classes, with a thick accent completely apathetic professor. His lectures were the most unhelpful monotone junk I've seen yet. He rarely responded to email and reservation OH only. Half the class failing was normal and fine with him. The average on our final (40% of our grade) was a 51%. This guy waited days to grade them, then dumped grades in the middle of the night (like 1:25am) and then WENT ON VACATION presumably to avoid facing backlash and to freeze students out so that by the time he did get back to you, it was too late to do anything. Though he would selectively only answer emails that weren't about curving the final. Around 10 of us reported him to the department chair and some of us did barely resolve our grades, but this guy is just awful. He should not be teaching PERIOD. Luckily he's new so he does not have tenure, but he sure does act like he does.
I would have went through the trouble of tracking him down, as well as got the other students to go with you, then used a tranquilizer dart on him via a tranquilizer gun, had him meet the dean and the rest of the university/college board, and made that asshole professor get shit canned and their teaching license permanently revoked.
My math teacher in high school said that when taking a math course it was like a policy to grade students using that quantitative and probability graph. Itâs really screwy cuz you could do really well but you could still fail. Because apparently university professors have to fail so many students a year. Thatâs what he told us anyway.
the "Grading on a curve" metagame is that nobody hands anything in, that way everyone has 0 and the grade is level ^^
Jokes aside though, this makes no sense. I've never had this happen to me, and I hope I never see it. If someone got 10/12 questions correct, they should get 10 points.
Why give them less points because other people did better, or more points because others did poorly?
That story wasn't about grading on a curve though.
people got the same points, but only some were failed
Literally nothing to do with the story but okay
As a freshman, my first English teacher told us we weren't capable of doing above "C" work. Several students complained to the President's office. The teacher claimed she was motivating us to do better. Uh huh!
The story about the professor reminds me of my first year in college. We had a new pharmacology instructor, she didn't know how to teach period. She would always be on her cell phone she even had her Bluetooth piece in her ear. She barely even reached on the subjects so we didn't learn much, about halfway through the semester, after the whole class complained to the dean, they removed her as an instructor and replaced her with an instructor that was able to teach us.
I had an accounting lecturer who openly said in class that he was nearly fired the year before for being crap. Our lecturer who covered the seminars was amazing but, because Larry had seniority, she couldn't overrule him. He spent an entire lecture talking about pineapples! One day he just didn't show up to the lecture so we all complained, he got fired and Ylena (the seminar lady) got promoted to his old job. What a difference! We were all learning something and got good grades at the end because of her teaching.
I reckon he did a fail, pass, fail, pass method without trying to properly grade it
How does a department chair or a dean completely miss the fact that so many third year students, taking required advanced courses, are failing just one prof's classes? Those are the first idiots to get rid of after getting Dr. J put on notice...
Because there are also many incompetent and power hungry deans, that will abuse their role, and the children.
I've mentioned before, bur I was briefly a professor/instructor. I gave grades, but in the end, the tenured professor overruled me (I taught a lab). I was PISSED. I tried to appeal, but they told me lol no, you're just a lab teacher. I quit
Legally blond is iconic. The bend and snap is all I could think of when you started to explain the bus boy bending over
Legally Blond is overrated stereotype promoting bullshit.
To quote NCIS, "A student's failure is a reflection of their teacher." Multiple students fail under one teacher? Huge red flag.
Story 1: a kindred soul! Lol
In 2009, we had a prof who literally have zero efforts, spending most of the class either showing slides or dodging our questions, and have practically no technical insight on what he was supposed to be teaching us.
Despite feedback and constructive criticism nothing changed. We had him for 2 classes already, and when i saw his name for a third one i snapped and started what i call "my small revolution".
Had my whole class, and a few people from other classes signing an open letter airing out grievances, and don't you know it, we never had a class with him again, though we still saw him from time to time
I had a graduate school professor who was sort of similar. He failed all but two people (myself and one other student) at midterm, going on about his high standards and that he expected better for the final paper. Then, come time for our final grades, we all found out that he'd given everyone in the class a B. Turns out, he was in the middle of completing a book he was writing and wasn't really grading our papers in the second half, so he just gave us a passable grade to be done with us. Now, for me, this was better than I expected because I didn't have faith in my final paper. For my more ambitious classmates, this was a slap in the face because all of their hard work meant nothing. That man still has tenure to this day.
I'm so glad I'm going to a community college. Its a well rated school, and the instructors are required to have office hours, and there are no TAs. They actually have to do their jobs, and it feels like they want their students to succeed. At the end of each semester students can fill out reviews that theoretically the deans look at. Most of the instructors have doctorates but go by their first names, so it's pretty laid back. My psychology instructor actually taught at Harvard but prefers the community college because he wanted to teach and didn't like how competitive Ivy League schools were. He said in order to stay, professors had to teach for a certain amount of credits for tenure and research purposes.
Professors who purposefully fail students or make an attempt to not actually teach are the worst. If I had professors like that Iâd drop the class instantly. Not like the online classes are any better rn.
Not all because of a parking space...all because he decided to abuse his power as a cop. The only way to stop the bad apples is coming down hard on them. I hope that cop never works in law enforcement again, he doesn't have the morals for it
this was prorevenge sprinkled in, cuz by complying, they utterly destroyed these idiots lives, lol
Tenure means that it is more difficult to fire a teacher, not impossible. It is up to the administration if they want to go after a bad teacher with tenure.
Not my brothers 3rd grade teacher. She was tenured & the school the away any and all complaints against her. All parents who has kids in her class complained, yet the administration acted like this was her first offense. Even when all the other parents knew they complained and called the school at it, they said "we have no record of it".
@@azisles02 Translation: Administration couldn't be bothered, or the teacher knew someone higher up. :-(
@@azisles02 , I would have told the administrator AND the teacher that we not only do have records of it, but that we also have you on audio AND video admitting to these things, and that any and all attempts to circumvent that evidence will result in you and your cohorts facing firings, losing of licenses of all sorts, and severe prison time...let them claim their bullshit THEN!
Glad the professor got what they deserved!
I had this psychology professor that had allowed me extra time to take a test because Iâm not the best test taker. And in her class there was no home work or projects, just Tests and quizzes. She had called me to her office because I had failed the test even after she had given me extra time. And the one thing she said was âHow did you pass high school?â In that moment I was shocked so I didnât have any sort of comeback. But this is what I would have said âWell there is this little thing called homework or projects. You know the stuff you take home to work on and then hand in for a grade?â I recently found out I may have ADHD which would explain why I struggle studying. But still that is not something you ask a student who struggles taking tests!
As a former college CS prof, luckily any professor in my department who acted like Dr J would have been removed, tenure or not. Understand that tenure was enacted to prevent profs, esp. those in the social sciences, from being targeted for unpopular views, not to protect incompetent or toxic profs.
My college teachers are literally a joke because if you take online courses it is essentially they give you a task and make you read out of the text book or use a program made by someone else and that is how you learn and I am unsure why they are paid if they don't help you or teach you physically and you can't get responses
I'm in college now and the thought that this could happen to me is terrifying. I'm in an advanced track, so I only have one professor a semester and, if I fail even one class, I'll be bumped into the normal track.
I had a similar experience my last semester in college. Some backstory. I was an engineering major just like the OP and had a GPA that made me one of the top students not just in my major but the entire college of engineering. Additionally, I already had a sweet job offer that I had accepted and would start a week after graduation. One of my final required classes was a research project with a sponsoring professor in my major. The only "requirement" was a paper that would be graded by a different professor (whom I had never had) only after my sponsoring professor reviewed and approved the paper. So about a week before graduation, feeling relieved because this was the final hurdle, I handed my approved paper to this professor who didn't know me from Adam. He started saying something about how he would read it, and if he wasn't satisfied, I would be required to return next semester and do more work. As he was speaking, i started imagining having to call my future employer, returning for another semester...I knew I had done everything required, enough to pass at least...I could feel my blood starting to boil. I didn't say anything and just stormed out of his office. I can still recall the sinister smile on his face. Not wanting to wait for this jerk to read my paper, I went straight to the dean and complained. Fortunately for me, I knew the dean well because I had just received the "Most Outstanding Graduating Senior" award that the department hands out every year. I never heard what happened, but I know he got a stern talking to because when I picked up my paper his attitude was very different almost apologetic and contrite saying something about how it was a good paper. However, I didn't care. I snatched the paper out of his hand without a word and marched triumphantly to graduation. As a coup de grace, shortly after graduating, my sponsoring professor called me at work to invite me back as a graduate student under him. So, let's just say that idiot professor messed with the bull that day and got the horns.
Hopefully, you are not as immoral and evil as the so-called "President" with your namesake.
my mans posting at 6 AM where I am when I can't even get up at 9 AM to wake up, respect
I dont know why a failing class would ever be a point of pride. "My job is to teach you. And I will fail to do my job with about 20% of you. I must be an outstanding teacher.
That story about the waitress was hilarious! I wish I was there to see that.
Itâs always a bad sign when a teacher doesnât teach you but expects you to know the material, but itâs a even bigger sign when they say âmost of you wonât pass this classâ.
Dr J : I am now imagining Julius Irving teaching college. The number one expert in dunkology đ
"The bend and Snap! Works everytime!" Lol
I had this professor that hated me for no reason. A little back story, Iâm a Hispanic in a school abundant in white upper class students. Some students are in no way mean to me. I took a medical terminology class and at the time I was diagnosed with a terrible condition that I now have to take therapy for and be medicated. She did not like me âskippingâ class for âmedical reasonsâ as she quoted. For that she made participation points go for a measly 5 points to a whopping 50 points because she thought I would get over myself and stop being lazy and legitimately go to class. However every time I was in class I would take note after note and hang on every sentence she said. I hated her because the other college professors actually have visited me in my hospital room and catch me up on what I missed, they would tell her that Iâm actually sick and not faking. In the end she gave me a D+ grade (the worst grade you can get in my school) I asked if I could do extra credit or any kind of work to fix my grade but she emailed me and completely lied about me to my classmates and constantly talked crap to them about me. She said âI feel like you donât pay attention in class and your âillnessâ excuse is very disrespectful to me and the rest of the class and shows me you donât want to actually learn.â I was livid but in the end nothing was done about it because I had no proof she was failing me on purpose.
I'm sorry that happened to you, nobody deserves to be treated like that! I hope you are feeling better, I know what its like to have a sever medical issue. Be safe.
The Prof thing is worse when you really think about it... Using the analogy of the landscaper, it's more like you pay for a very expensive treatment of your lawn, they send some guy out who half-asses it and acts smug the entire time, makes lowkey threats about your future, and because he did a shit job that they won't fire him over because of tenure, not only do you get a crappy-looking lawn, you might lose your entire house and have difficulty getting even a shitty apartment later with enough windowsill for one sickly potted plant, because of said landscaping that YOU PAID FOR. It's not a service, it's a scam under the guise of higher education.
When I was in college, one year the class complained of the way the professor was grading our weekly assignments. It was an architectural class, so each week we would have an assignment where we had to draw plans to meet code, with each week being some different aspect to design (stairs, ramps, elevator cabs, etc.). He stated at the beginning the grades were going to be either Pass or Fail. However, if you got a Fail, you could resubmit it again, revised, to try to get a Pass. Because that's how it's done in the real world. And the students complained, even got the department chair involved. In the end he changed it to Pass/Did Not Pass. Uh, it's the same, only changed the wording to satisfy the entitled students.
on the last story with strict parents pushing for an A+, my parents were pretty similar in always pushing for that A+ and pestering me to take every possible extra credit opportunity. only, in the school I went to, the percentage ranges for grades were shifted up to higher standards, meaning that instead of A+ meaning 97%-100% it was STRICTLY 100% or you didn't get the A+. I'm not sure how common that adjusted scale is, but my parents never seemed to understand the concept that a single mistake throughout the entire year meant that my grades would not ever reach the A+ range for that class. they also didn't recognize that most of my classes never offered extra credit, and that pestering a child about it doesn't change the teacher's policy.
First story: "Typical"? I have never seen a professor act this way upon getting close to retirement. Not saying that it doesn't happen of course, but I think this more on the personality of the teacher himself, not on it being common enough for it to be considered typical behavior. Some people just weren't meant to be teachers, after all.
I had a couple of teachers in high school that were in their last year before retirement. They were pretty chill for the most part but they didn't tolerate bullshit either.
@@jasondyrkacz8270 Exactly. And like I say, not that it doesn't happen, just that when it does, those are the ones who aren't teachers and never were teachers to begin with. So it isn't right to lump them with the professors who ARE good and calling it typical behavior.
My professor wasn't quite THAT bad, he never failed anyone, but this Spanish professor would tell random stories (in English) during all but the last 5 minutes of the class (50 minutes 4 days a week). He claimed he was being "relatable" to students. This was a super expensive school, and that honestly pissed me off. I was paying to learn, but the class was filled with people who wanted an easy A. I was stuck with this professor for 5 semesters, didn't bother doing my homework for half of them, and still got an A. The one semester I had a different professor, I learned SO much more, but everyone else hated it because, gasp, they actually had to do work! In college!
I had a English teacher like this. You had to follow her rules, not miss classes or maybe one if sick. She would fail almost half of her class, play sad that she failed them, but I could notice that she got joy out of that power. She tried to force a English native speaker to attend the classes... When the student proved earlier that her level was sufficient for passing. Last English exam was oral exam, presenting a group project and I was happy when she could not find any mistakes in my English. That woman was fake nice, but no one actually liked her.
I had a professor like that. Barely taught anything. Got a group of students together and we all filed formal complaints. Ended up with the department chair sitting in for our class for the rest of the semester
About the professor: Imagine a doctor telling the patient:
"This procedure has sadly only a 75% success rate.
The good thing: This year nobody have died on my table yet.
The bad thing: I ain't gonna let you survive it.
I can't embarrass my colleagues, we have to keep the numbers.
I hope you understand."
I had a professor for a second-year chemistry class that was similar. It was a large university, and that class had well over 100 students. She went out of her way to fail us by trying to catch people unprepared and giving no leeway. For example, she would give us pop quizzes on random things unrelated to the material in class, but that she thought everyone should know. She would assign extra work due by the end of class that same day if she felt like too many students were absent. She would focus harassment on students if she didn't like their attitude, and other similar things. It was bad enough that my counselor who helped me line up my classes for that semester warned me, but she was the only instructor for a class that was required for my major.
Over the previous few semesters, a significant amount of complaints and challenges piled up against her, but after the first few weeks of class, almost our entire class complained about her as well. She actually got fired at the end of that semester, and anyone who contested their grade then or in the previous semester won their challenge automatically.
Iâll never understand why people become teachers if they donât want kids to succeed, like it makes zero sense. Itâs like being a vet & not caring about fixing animals.
Actually, I consider spaying and neutering animals to be cruel.
For the same reason that child rapists love to become priests.
They're placed in a position with the power to ABUSE children.
Many people become teachers, because they literally want to bully and abuse others, but are such loosers, that the only kind o people they can bully, is pupils...
My husband's nursing med surg course is like that in some ways...huge swaths of juniors fail or drop to retake every semester. He's in his second round in the class now, too. The professor lectured some arbitrary lecture that didn't match the textbook, which had required "guided notes" that didn't match, and the tests were made up of a random selection of arbitrary test questions that weren't necessarily lectured over or covered in the (massive) textbook. We were furious. Due to the format of the clinical, this set back his entire path and graduation date by another semester!
This year, they apparently made changes to the class...it's no better. Previously, the other professor actually taught lectures that matched the book and led to the tests. But now, the OTHER professor has recorded the lectures, which they now have to watch on their OWN time....and in class they only test on Mondays (and then go home, no class after the test time) and then "activities" on Tuesdays for the whole 2-hr lecture time.... He says it's more like Anatomy 3 rather than Med-Surg, so not even covering the right material. And everyone is STILL struggling to pass.
After last semester, students created a petition, which I guess led to these awful changes. I don't think his school has the same trade dispute pprocess but we should look into it. We keep saying we need to take it up with a dean, but it's hard to know if admin really doesn't know if this issue or if it would even get us anywhere. But we definitely need to make a formal complaint again so they know it's just as bad. We are so over this school, but transferring out would mean him restarting the entire program somewhere else, and it's just not worth it at this point. Ugh!
