- Harvard's Q Guide is filled out by students at the end of every class. For some students, this is their chance to air their frustration.
Inspired by Jimmy Kimmel's segment, "Celebrities Read Mean Tweets."

I expected better insults from Harvard students
Erick Romero You can thank affirmative action for that.
I didn't.
Erick Romero 1:16
Ha, so true. I was underwhelmed by their comments. Poor students - I feel for them.
Harvard students are nothing but pseudo intellectuals not any smarter than the random person next to them
I need to make something very clear. Just because you are good at the field you work in, doesn’t automatically make you a good teacher.
Or even better. Just because you’re a Harvard student, you know better than the profesor and you’re gonna get a free pass on every turn. 🙄
You know they all had to take a lot of teaching trainings too
The professors are there because of the number and quality of their publications, which in turn depends on the research they do on their own or supervise others to do. Quality of teaching hardly comes into it.
@@kiranbernard7214 no, university professors do not recieve training.
@@OM-wb3zi that makes no sense. Its a given that students are the one learning from professors. None of the students claimed they know better they just think the professor is really bad at teaching or they simply hate the class.
“What does that mean” It means that students are spending money that they barely have on mandatory textbooks that you don’t even utilize in the class and that sucks
caroline jena right😂😂😂 paying 300$ for one book that you don’t even open would have me mad af
Or just buy second hand or pirate them online?
Qiancheng Fu still.
Textbooks are for self study, professors don't have to use them
a s That doesn’t make them any less mandatory or any more helpful in some cases
Whats funny is that if you look up these individuals, they are world-class scholars in their respective fields lol
@@seansurtz5528 I think a more sophisticated argument might be that many of the foremost scholars in a field are more interested in research than teaching (low-level) classes.
They're known for being great researchers, not for being the most pedagogic people around.
I'd argue this is a pretty common occurrence even at less prestigious institutions.
@Sean s You expect an applause for asserting that academic fields are "useless" without even bringing any arguments? I'm not sure you even know what the social sciences even are.
That doesn't mean they are good at explaining the material
John Johnson well seeing that each professor had at most 2 negative comments (that had very bad insults) I’m going to assume they are good teachers and that the 1 or 2 students that said the class was boring/ is just a personal preference.
Professors being a good scholar doesnt always mean that they are good teachers. Based on my experience, very few of them were both...
So that's who wrote my Econ book!
SAME!
Julia Liu SAME!!
I think he wrote a microeconomics book i was reading recently.
+the reader His 2 Micro & Macro Econ books are uni standards even here in India!
+runnie e. Yup. Principles of Microeconomics. He also has one for Macro.
And the prof's smile because they get paid weather you pass the class or not.
Camel Tanker he would quit if nobody passed their class (even if he continued teaching the course)
Exactly. All the pupils could fail and they'll still have a job. Meanwhile, a tutor/private school teacher would be in huge shit if the same thing happened to them because their income depends on happy customers so they actually have to give a damn.
Yea
@رجل شرقي My dictionary was not handy when I made the post.
It's because these professors aren't teaching children they don't need education degrees. They are communicating their knowledge of their field to a group of adults that paid to be here and are responsible for their own learning. This isn't High School, this isn't Middle School, and this sure as hell isn't elementary school. So if you're going to college you better get used to this and take some responsibility
Ahh well, so much for Harvard students being so articulate and literate.
I'm sure they are, almost anyone could be more literate than that if they wanted, but I think they were trying to be funny.
Rich kids gifted with the opportunity to go to Harvard?
Eh...
seth manning Yes but look at how you started your sentence. Then remember the guy who started his sentence with "Didn't even open the book once". Mine you, according to my Comp 1 teacher you're wrong because you went with "I'm" instead of "I am" but.....again at least you used it. 😂 js. Mind you the only stupid ones in this ordeal imo are the Harvard student comments. 😊
Well, if you're ever feeling stupid or sad remember: people decided it would be wise to spend 750 million dollars on an ark museum....of an event that was never proven. 😂
you're not understanding my point, they're joking for crying out loud. The comp 1 teachers didn't say i'm is incorrect, or at least they shouldn't have, in informal speech, only in academic papers; In fact, it is used quite frequently in fiction. It's not an ordeal, it's a bunch of jokes.
They looked like they literally gave no fucks.
vclarke4433 All of them are at the top of their respective academic fields; they'd have to be in order to be tenured professors at the best university in the world. Why would they care what some random students (albeit, Harvard students) think of them?
+Michael R Just demonstrates the faults in the academic system. Fucked up professors that get away with trash like that.
+Jose Espinal Trash like what?
they are getting paid a 90-100K a year. that's why
+Michael R Best university lol. According to american organisations of course.
Just watching this for laughs i go to a school in the south... And then I realized N. Gregory Mankiw wrote my Economics textbook. Okay Harvard, you win.
... god i just realized its him now u say that.
Reading those reviews, you would never realise that Mankiw's Ec10 was for many years the most popular course at Harvard.
Levitsky too, he's the author of How Democracies Die, one of the best non-fiction books I read recently.
One thing I learned in college is that expertise has no correlation with teaching skills whatsoever..
lol this is true. My friend is taking chemistry and is having a hard time understanding lectures, but she learns better watching CZcams videos. Her teacher always sounds like he hates his job and very bored of the class himself
@@ttran1657 I don't know what's worse, that or the ones who like teaching and are terrible at it. The only good thing about the pandemic is we have online classes now.
It’s probably even negatively correlated because if someone’s born smart they don’t know how to make ordinary people to understand the same thing they understand
I do agree with this, but it is not true for all Professors.
It highly depends on the person, tentatively, I‘d argue that younger folks tend to be better at teaching, perhaps because they haven’t been giving the exact same lecture for 8 years.
@@SM-cs3nt Which is why I said no correlation instead of negative correlation
RateMyProfs at Harvard: (a well written and clever rating of the teacher's class)
RateMyProfs at my junior college: DONTTAKE THIS CLASS U WILL DIE' MY FRIEND TOOK THIS CLASS AND NOW SHE DED :(
😂😭
That's how you know it's true agony
True, but only for the low level classes.
Heyy that Gregory Mankiw guy wrote my high school Econ textbook
Georgina Maris same for the macro book here at UC Davis
And it s a great textbook.
PROFESSOR PINKER!!! How can you fall asleep to his lectures? I'd listen to that guy all day long.
😍
Poda jobe Hari rahul
Morons.
@@agricolaregs I may be stupid
ikr. i read the man's books and watch his lectures on CZcams. imagine hearing him live
If Conan O' brien was still in harvard he would crack 100 times better insults than this. Doesn't harvard have a humor publication? Where the fuck are those guys?
Yea, they do have a humor publication (Harvard Lampoon). However, not every single student at Harvard is a humorist. And I'm pretty sure that the Lampoon writers probably have better stuff to do.....
I was expecting this to be funnier. Oh well, even a chuckle is worth the time invested.
The last one made me laugh 😃😂
Notice how the engineers don’t even have time to complain
“Didn’t even open the textbook one time” you know damn well what that means
YES! I was like “Oh, you just don’t want your boss realizing you don’t teach with your textbook”, you can see from her hesitation, lol.
it means they got the students to buy $500 textbook and it wasn't even needed
you know, it isn't the professor's responsibility to open the textbook. the have probably already read it. the student on the other hand...
@@crinky3907Oh, is that what you saw? What I saw was a teacher who couldn't get her head around a "student" who would sign up for a class, sit through the entire semester, and never once open up the textbook. I share her confusion. I can understand why a dropout would behave this way, but not a student.
You'd think Harvard students would use words like Cretinous, Inane, Moronic, and Other fancy words I looked up on Google but instead they say,"This Class Sucks"
Doesnt matter they dont need to flex to convey what can be conveyed by normal words. Yes I disagree the use of slants but this is literally modern day expression. Language can be anything society uses rather than it being of some systematic sort. Anyways they could have been a little bit respectful by stating their opinion in a bit detail but it is optional.
@@lordx4641 Dude I was Joking if you couldn't tell I obviously know that Harvard students are real people and that they use regular words, just a little humor
@@tonyayers6809 yeah ur right. But i believe ur points stands true that a more sophisticated response was expected
that would be so pretentious
Harvard generally uses a very plain spoken style so the students do too
Imagine telling Mankiw his econ class sucks lol
A student falling asleep in Stephen Pinker’s class is far more derogatory of the student who wrote the comment.
I know, right. If only I could sit in on his classes. These kids don’t know how lucky they are.
EXACTLY
@@agricolaregs this comment nails it. I would seriously do ANYTHING to have their opportunities
How the fuck could someone sleep when Pinker is talking? I would kill to be in that class
An atheist propagandist. I was forced to read one of his books, I think. Must be fun getting your book to be a best-seller because of students FORCED to buy 'em.
And that's why you are in a maximum security facility, and not at Harvard.
t. Idiots
I'd love to be in a class with Mankiw, learning from one of the most brilliant minds in economics.
Next time, pick comments that are actually mean, and ditch the cheesy music.
I dont think they'd have too many mean comments to choose from
I don't think they really care that much. They're just laughing at it like its the funniest thing they've ever heard.
These students are so lucky and brilliant that they are getting a chance to study from Gregory mankiw
Well I'm glad that my school is just as shitty as Harvard. Guess money doesn't buy good education after all.
The funny part the better quality is better at community college then one of the expensive University.
I wouldn't actually say quality is better, but statistics suggest that unless you go to Hollywood Movie Community College, you're probably going to get the same job and salary at the same time as any other place, assuming your grades are stellar.
I'm assuming you didn't get into a four year college and are going to community college instead ?
The difference between ivy leagues and normal universities is simply brand recognition. For ivy leagues, you're paying for a brand. I have attended some lectures at ivy leagues, and they weren't much different from lectures at my university. It is more about the teacher than the university.
+Alex Nieto Again, simply brand recognition. Have you been to a community colege and a university both? I doubt you have, as if you did you'd know teachers at community college are student focused, whereas professors at university are research-focused. Prof's at community college prepare students with hands-on experience and life skills, as well as being more personal with students. University is highly impersonal - the professors are usually very busy with other things like research, and lecturing is just a side job to pay the bills.
Before you accuse me of being insecure or something, I went to the college of engineering at the university of rhode island straight out of high school. I never went to community college but it would have helped with loans.
Gregory my man, i have spent many many hours in my room crying with your book in front of me.
Honestly if you find Mankiw to be bad teacher, there's literally no other option than teaching yourself
Many of these professors are actually highly respected in their field
Of course they are! How did you think they became professors at Harvard?
lol do you think you just turn up and get given a full professorship at Harvard??
@@holliswilliams8426 I thought they were just there one day with no prior warning or evidence of existing.
I'd love to see the unedited version of this. They looked like they had a lot more to say before it cut to the next.
MANKIW WROTE A LOT OF ECOMOMICS TEXTBOOKS, IT IS LUCKY TO HAVE THE AUTHOR TO BE YOUR PROFESSOR , I THINK
Hardly mean. Anyway, who goes to Harvard expecting not to have their sanity tested?
I know that there are gonna be students that complain about teachers at *every* uni, but as someone who went to a small uni in south Texas, I would LOVE the opportunity to sit through just one lecture at Harvard.
Gregory Mankiev has written textbooks that are used to teach students all around the world.
Mankiw is good at explaining things in his books though.
rooooooby Agreed, I actually enjoyed learning economics after reading his textbooks and learnt quite a lot from them.
Pinker is amaaazing!!
i feel like the quality of the comments say more about the student body than the content of the course. what's the acceptance rate to get into harvard again?
+SlovesMac5 6 precent
harvard actually entices people to apply that they have no intention of accepting just so they can reject them
w3w
i dunno about now, but they also used to have that policy of accepting people to just get rid of them later, thus making those who graduated look more deserving/accomplished
It costs money to APPLY lmfao
2007: Mankiw was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[71]
2009: Mankiw became president of the Eastern Economic Association; he succeeded Joseph Stiglitz and was followed by Paul Krugman.[72]
2011: A survey of economics professors named Mankiw their second favorite living economist under the age of 60, just after Paul Krugman and just before Daron Acemoglu.[73]
2012: The Princeton Review named Mankiw one of the 300 best professors in the nation.[74][75]
2014: Along with David Card, Mankiw was elected vice president of the American Economic Association.[76]
2017: The Council for Economic Education honored Mankiw with its Visionary Award.[77]
2019: Omicron Delta Epsilon, the international honor society for economics, awarded Mankiw the biennial John R. Commons Award.[78]
Professor Mankiw ? Is that you ?
I love the band-aid one the most haha! and the professor's expression is priceless
that was the best one
lol how could you fall asleep in pinkers lectures man is an absolute legend
Mankiw’s introductory textbook is phenomenal... I switched from econ to math after I realized I particularly care for econ, I only liked his textbook.
I would love to take classes at Harvard. Those students sound ungrateful for the opportunities they have. Recruit me!
+Nicole Dailey Not that special.
+ahyaok100 What, a Harvard education?
+Sandro Achilleus Yep. It's not much better than other schools. Of course, some employers will be impressed because they'll think just because you went to an ivy league school you must be smart, hardworking, or both. But it doesn't really prove either of those things. In fact, some of the worst people I've ever met went to Harvard. The most moronic, lazy, selfish people you've ever seen. And I'm talking about the good ones!
+ahyaok100 But you're just talking about the students. The econ professor shown here, G. Mankiw, is the guy that wrote 3 books that are standard issue in all universities at least in India, USA and Canada. These are just the countries that I know of. I'm sure there are many more.
Moreover, he was the chairman of the CEA and was the chief economic advisor to Bush for 2 years.
That's what a Harvard ticket gives you - a chance to be in his class. So yes, it IS that special.
Soham Bhattacharya Not to mention their massive endowments
"People make comments that are mean
via not knowing what it is that is loving them"
"we always win"
Same energy as:
"I am inevitable"
Do you want to have fun? Go to a circus, not to a university.
This is very unfortunate. If only Harvard students had some special program where they could sit in on or "shop" many class and then pick the ones they liked the best.
+Isaiah Krugman Yale ftw bro!
so they need a shop class?
They used to let you attend an introductory lecture at the beginning of term so you could decide if you *really* wanted to spend the term with *that* professor. Awards aren't everything: the lecture hall was packed for one professor's first lecture but was only sparsely filled from the second lecture to the end of the term (30 years ago). Let's face it: their most important job is to write books!
@@amysato5677 I thought that was common sense
I would pay so much for that economics guy to just narrate something for me
I’d be honored to attend any of these classes.
"This class is shitty".😂😂😂 I love how to the point that comment is
"This class is shitty."
Thank you for your very insightful comment.
I love reading Gregory Mankiw's books. I would love to be his student.
Really? These are called 'mean comments'? I been terrorized for 28 years now by bullies and complete assholes, I had to endure a lot worse. Those comments are similar to petting kittens.
hope you are doing well
college is way too easy for me right now-- like easier than high school. I kind of want to take one of these classes just to see how difficult they are.
As a highschool teacher, I made sure I really suck in my class. You can't get hurt by comments if they are true!
Most don't seem that unreasonable to me.
Good to see Prof Mankiw
The awkward moment when I just realized that economic professor is the author of my economic text book at PSU and I have my finals tomorrow 😂😂
0:30 sir I'm from India, I've read your all microeconomics and macroeconomics books.
You're one of the greatest people in the field.
I'd love to be in your class.
These professors are just so full of themselves - they could care less about any comments!
Being a university professor or a teacher. U have to do ur best to let student understand the material. Some professor like jill strang is a gift for a student as he is very polite and approachable person.
I mean it just sounded like a bunch of kids saying in so many words "Harvard is like academically challenging and stuff"
Osnat Netzer it means that the student didn't open his textbook even once.
Hhahh loved the video idea!
Berry has worked on the script development for several major TV shows: Race, the Power of an Illusion in 2003 by PBS,[11] the 5-part Channel 4 DNA,[12] and NOVA's Lord of the Ants.[13] In 2013, along with George Beccaloni, curator with a special interest in Orthopteroidea and the Alfred Russel Wallace collections at the Natural History Museum, London, Berry narrated a short animated film for The New York Times to celebrate the Alfred Russel Wallace's centenary.[14]
Damn. If only any of those were good
I expected a lot more from Harvard students
Most reviews aren't even real students. Anyone can fake an account and write an insult.
Netzer’s works have been commissioned and performed by Ensemble Dal Niente, ICE (International Contemporary Ensemble), Patchwork, mezzo-soprano Lucy Dhegrae, bass David Salsbery Fry, saxophonists Kenneth Radnofsky, Doug O’Connor and Geoffrey Landman, Spektral Quartet, and Winsor Music, among many others, published by Edition Peters and earthsongs, and recorded on Bridge Records and New Focus Recordings.
Her opera, The Wondrous Woman Within, was described as “riotously funny” in The New York Times when its first scene was performed at New York City Opera’s VOX festival in 2012 and “challenging and fascinating” by critic Amir Kidron when it received its World Premiere in a sold out run at Tel Aviv’s Cameri Theatre in 2015.
As a pianist and performer, she regularly plays and conducts new music by fellow composers, as well as her own songs and compositions. Also a committed and passionate educator, Netzer teaches at The Walden School and has served on the faculties of New England Conservatory, Longy School of Music of Bard College and Harvard University.
Mankiw's a genius, his book got me an A in economics.
Honestly, his texts are so good that it's really difficult to imagine he'd be a bad teacher.
The last one was straight to the point
Naaaah hold up. Mankiw? So strange to see that some students are getting taught by the guy who wrote the books that I‘m learning from.
I’m not a Harvard student, and I recognised a few people from the fronts of my textbooks...
I hate the fact that while this is literally how it goes for any university, the name Harvard in the title got it more views than what it otherwise would've got.
The student who commented on N Gregory Mankiew E10, I can't believe, because his books are interesting and I must say addictive.
Wait, THE GREOGORY MANKIW? Wow!
LOL I guess when you get into Harvard you get the chance to rate world renowned professors in their respective fields. Wish I had that chance.
Anyone can create a fake profile on RMP. Its a joke.
Most of These don't sound that insulting to be honest. More like people were genuinely disappointed and expected more from their courses.
Matter in the universe sounds like a very interesting course.
the last one i died
In 2004, Pinker was named in Time's "The 100 Most Influential People in the World Today", and in the years 2005, 2008, 2010, and 2011 in Foreign Policy's list of "Top 100 Global Thinkers".[9] Pinker was also included in Prospect Magazine's top 10 "World Thinkers" in 2013.[10] He has won awards from the American Psychological Association, the National Academy of Sciences, the Royal Institution, the Cognitive Neuroscience Society, and the American Humanist Association.[11][12][13][14][15] He delivered the Gifford Lectures at the University of Edinburgh in 2013. He has served on the editorial boards of a variety of journals, and on the advisory boards of several institutions.[16] Pinker was the chair of the Usage Panel of the American Heritage Dictionary from 2008 to 2018.[17]
What kind of courses are Classics and government
Left out Allen Dershowitz: What, Norman Finkelstein wasn't available?
That person didn't open textbook even once for music class. That's pretty mean
There is a difference between going to Harvard for Law vice going there for "Classics in the Elizabethan era" studies
LMAO the last two made me laugh pretty good.
I would be really happy to be allowed to join the lectures at Havard university...
N. Gregory Mankiw wrote my Micro and Macroeconomics textbooks....
Harvard student: This professor is terrible! I’m definitely warning all my friends not to take him and post it in the group chat.
Harvard professor: *Laughs in tenure*
laughs in *already got a permanent job which they can't really lose*
Yeah these comments are so mean they could almost scare a baby
Good thing to tell the truth 😭😭😭
If I was able to get into Harvard I would be the happiest person on earth. I would major in Astronomy or astrophysics.
I love how some of them read it like they’re the one who wrote the comment loool
NGL Econ will suck no matter where you take it. Class has so many new concepts and the questions are very "Gotcha" type questions.
Is Harvard in Canada? Seems like they need to rewrite their deifnition of what an insult is! Love from MIT! Just teasing you guys :)
Bashing professors or your school doesn't exactly help sell your degree when looking for a job.
Unfortunately people who are experts on their field and have a deep understanding of it can't easily communicate that knowledge with the uninitiated. The most cooperative professors where the one who just landed the job whereas the most knowledgable ones were just too busy conducting their own research and pushing PhD level stuff (Fluid Mechanics 1&2 and Hydrodynamic Machines...I literally had nightmares after that but it managed to separate me from the 600 students that fail each semester and get me on top of the 5 that passed) on Bachelor students.
all this is even worse in mathematics
Some of them even can't help laughing themselves hahahahah. And I agree with Erick Romero, I thought the insults from Havard students were better ahahhahahhahhaah
These are some very tame "mean" comments. The only one that came off as mean was the last one.
I would kill to be able to sit through an Astronomy course! In Matter in the Universe I would be most attentive student in that class. I love this stuff. I want to go back to school to pursue Astronomy but the nearest program to me is in Cornell and that would cost me an arm and a leg
I love learning. I love that so many class lectures from our great universities are being offered for free on line to people like me who will never have a chance to attend in person. Moan on, foolish children. Intelligent people see intelligence everywhere. Consider joining that group.
I recognize the expense is great and alarming. Perhaps some of you need not worry about that, but I sense many of you are evaluating courses against that measure.
Take up that financial challenge, embrace it, change the rules of cost, not the rules for creating an informed person. For every chair you sit in there are so many others who would willingly take your place, more than willingly pursue the state of being an informed, disciplined, authentic scholar.
I sag and grow weary of the lost chances and missed opportunities for personal enlightenment these comments display. Students, do better. Be better. The rest of us are counting on you.
There are like thousands of people who would die to get to be taught by Prof. Mankiw. And then some random dude says it's shitty.
