    He rarely teaches because of this. I personally don't have any quarrels with him it's just that he's a very bad at teaching. Most of my class agees with these . The teacher is considered one of the worst in the physics department. Our department is small so it's not like I have a choice for...

    What point? You din't make any. If anything you just proved my point.

    I'm sorry what? Did you even read the post? Being insultative does not create a productive environment period. If you can find anything at all that tells me otherwise , then by all means give the latest research paper regarding the discovery of being an ass to make good physicists. You seem...

    The remarks from Dr. Courtney made it sound as if it's ok for the physics professors to do and say anything to you. As in follow by example. In which case Dr. Courtney pointed out her professors as Gods. I think Vanadium 50 told me in this thread to turn the drama down a notch but to me this...

    I'm not implying racism. I'm not implying that the people responding is this thread are racist as well. If you would extend my quote you would note that racism is not the core of this thread . I'm saying that if a professor was to be racist (key word is TO BE) after a learning error then it...

    Yep. I'm trying to avoid flunking just because this is actually something I want to do. I'm no fool though. I'm not going to bend over like nothing's wrong like some other people on this thread suggested. I should be my American right to cultivate the land and make the world a better place...

    I have confronted my depression with only one professor. That is because I trust him. I have mentioned my depression slightly with my professor. I don't think he understands what this is. Recently I've done better in this class so this is more of a deal with it issue I guess. i want to learn...

    No I do not get offended or angry for being wrong. I 'am ok with this. however if I'am wrong I would never expect a teacher to get angry and would always expect a level of tolerance and professionalism that comes with being a college or university professor. I do not receive any other reaction...

    It's very obvious you don't understand what I'am saying. Do you remember what you had to eat 3 years ago on February 10th? Of course not. Same thing. You can forget very minuscule things every once in a while. Your claim is that I din't derive it or din't learn it. That's not what I said. So...

    The difference between a fail and a ace is one or two questions because the questions are weighed very heavily. 10 points per multiple choice question, there are 5. You have very little room for error because you can't get partial credit. The renaming portion of the test is one question that...

    Right. This I know. There is no TA sadly. I do believe I should not have to tolerate such behavior however. I'am currently, but I'am pretty sure his behavior does not make him a good teacher, which should never be the case.

    It seems this issue is very split for some odd reason. to be honest I never expected to receive such a response. Most of the responses have to do with claims that I'am exaggerating abuse. If that's the case I apologize. The problem I'am trying to display is supposedly not clear. I'am trying...

    I'm not asking for a career in physics on a silver platter. I'm fine with hard work. I think you, and several other faculty members are severely missing the point of this statement, in that. I want to learn physics by dumping my non-existent soul on it. I wonder if there is anything that can...

    Well I can't read people's mind but I guess I must have triggered some nerves around. I'm not very good at that sort of thing. Regardless of what I'am portraying, I agree not to disrespect those who teach you. However in this case I'am learning next to nothing from negativity. So I do not view...
