No such thing as a bad professor, only bad students, amirite?

My professor got fired for sleeping with 3 female students in order to give them a passing grade. In classes he would never give us any reliable study sources and most of the lectures were just copypasted from a random textbook. How were we supposed to pass when we had no idea what was even on the tests? He was a bad professor.

Then that logic follow to all educators. Public or private. Because teachers follow a specific predetermined curriculum in K-12. Then all learning falls on the students and there are no bad teachers too.

First you say there's no such thing as a bad professor, then keep listing examples or exceptions.

by Immediate_Permit6965 5 months ago

No, k-12 is not the same as university. Also, the concept that there aren't a few exceptions to any rule is a bit absurd.

Perhaps. But the concept that there are no bad professors is a lot absurd.

Each student has an obligation to approach the material in good faith and bridge their own deficits. But communication is a skill and some people never practice it. A coach who never learns how to develop their players, agents, or workers is a poor coach. A teacher who never grows or adapts to deliver a better learning experience is a poor teacher.

Professors are not coaches, they are not there to develop you. They do not have the capacity to develop every single one of their students. Further, their job is to mainly to conduct research, the university has them lecture so you can know what material you should be studying

Then why have professors in the first place? Give students the books. Let them write the exam. Pass the practical courses. No need for professors at all.

This is essentially the basis for online classes. Skipping the middle man

If students have to teach themselves the course, then the professor is not doing their job. Source: I am taking statics a second time. The first time I had a terrible professor, I learned very little. I finished the class with a low 60. I am taking it again this year with an amazing professor. I currently have a 96 halfway through the semester.

My professor(PE teacher) got fired for gross negligence and verbally abused the students. He sucked imo.

by Stokesfiliberto 5 months ago

Had a very brilliant professor for my course about chemical facilities, he was very smart and knowledgeable. Yet he sucked really hard at explaining things. On one hand I got really good at teaching myself, on the other hand, I had to do his job to help my friends. Definitely a bad professor.

This sounds exactly like my freshman chem professor. Extremely smart, bad teaching methods.

If every student fails a test, then that is the fault of the person who poorly prepared the students for the test. There are absolutely bad professors out there.

It happens quite often in classes with bad professors lmao

Yeah, that's just nonsense on it's face. Of course there are bad teachers. Teaching is a skill, some teachers are great at it and some are terrible at it.

A past uni lecturer once told me "how you think is wrong for how i teach"

This is the second extreme generalization about professors that I have seen on here today. Some professors are great. Some are fine. Some are not good. Some are bad.

Yup, the fact that my (public) university has some prestige to its name definitely helped me land my internships and job. Everything else I gained from my time there was an added bonus.

Every single occupation has people that are bad at their jobs, and/or are just bad people; it's ludicrous to think otherwise.

You must be THAT graduate student starting to teach, but you just don't have the hutspah.

If the majority of your students fail your class multiple years in a row, you're a bad teacher.
