This should be an interesting semester

A classmate of mine told me to take a look at the "rate your professor" comments for this teacher I have for linguistics. Here are some highlights:

has no concept of the modern student. very authoritarian. not sharp anymore, has difficulty hearing and remembering things, but is still certain he knows more than you. [this has already proved true after only 2 classes]

following directions on tests will not give you full points. marks off arbitrarily, severely. [excellent, can't wait]

He will sit there and point you out in the middle of class and pick at some useless fact about you excessively just to prove the point that he is a tenure professor and can't be fired. He made it a point to tell the class that he makes people cry. Rude.

Unfair, inconsistent and unclear in his informal and formal assessment of students. Favored the "smart" students and subtly humiliated others through callous remarks.

I'm sure I'll have some great stories. Ugh.
