#and annoying to boot

Yes. He was an absolute hack, and I have never heard his name said by anyone but himself in tones of anything but sheer disdain. Names changed to protect the idiot and not dox myself, I’ll call him Prof.

First class I got from him was Intro Java. Prof did not know Java. A classmate and I once spent an hour and a half trying to get clarification on an assignment, a relatively simple matter had any of us understood the material, made me late for work. My classmate and I were students, he was the teacher. He should have understood this basic concept (whether we should do a linked list from scratch or use Java’s included LinkedList library). He also had a charming habit of making fun of how old my laptop was. It was admittedly five years old, but it did what I needed it to do and I couldn’t afford a new one.

Second class was Devices and Networking. He actively taught wrong information. He contradicted himself. He had a slide deck THAT WAS ALSO WRONG that he contradicted. We had to do a lot of re-learning in Devices and Networking II.

Last but not least was Program Design Processes. I didn’t want to take it from him, but the university didn’t offer the class from any other professor in time for me to graduate. I braced myself but still wasn’t prepared.

First day of class, he told us that each student would only get one class a week (this was a regular, two-class-per-week course). He was concerned about social distancing and Covid, so he didn’t want to be in a full-capacity classroom; he would teach two identical classes a week, with half the roster in attendance at each one. This is one class per week less than we were paying tuition for. Look, I get concerns about Covid (his daughter was diabetic, so I can understand his worry) BUT TEACH THE CLASS ONLINE.

He had a terrible habit of creating new assignments at the last minute. Half-an-hour videos with four hours notice before we were supposed to have them watched, an entire midterm that we were told about eight days ahead of time, to be taken ON A NON CLASS DAY. He would never mediate assignment grades, even if he’d marked your question wrong incorrectly, or if he’d marked another student right. Mostly he would worsen the other student’s grade to match.

What’s worse, he had terrible follow up. That midterm I mentioned? Was on Lockdown proctoring software, which is a pain in itself, but especially difficult if you have a roommate with two loud pets. I usually took my tests in a spare conference room at work. That day, due to short notice, I was fully booked between work and classes, so I got up a little early and got to work at 7AM to take it. It made me jump through all the hoops: scan your face, scan the room, show student ID, everything.

Then it said that the professor hadn’t opened the exam yet. Needless to say, I was a little miffed- I had rearranged my day for this. I notified the professor on the class slack- I wasn’t even the first person to have this problem, one of my classmates had stayed up until midnight for similar scheduling reasons- and went about my day. It was Friday, which was always busy for me.

More and more student ran into this problem, more and more frustrated notices on the class Slack- Prof responded around 1:45, with a somewhat miffed and sarcastic tone, that the test was available now and we could stop blowing up his notifications.

I have never seen an entire class so close to revolt. I was pretty peeved myself- like I said, between work and school I wouldn’t be available until 7 or so, and by then I would be in no shape to take a test.

Eventually, probably sensing danger, Prof graciously extended the due date of the test 24 hours, thus magnanimously allowing us to take the test on the next day, Saturday. The class’s mutinous grumbling simmered down to a dull roar but no one ever forgave him for that.

No other student who knew Prof liked him. By the time I finished my last class with him, I’d written a letter of complaint that was 11 pages long, with subheadings, documenting his incompetence and unprofessional behavior. I sent it to the Dean, but my apartment had been going through Deans like candy, so the temp in the position wasn’t qualified to fire him. He was also willing to work for peanuts, which the university apparently could not afford to lose. He is my academic white whale.

does everyone have a teacher that they still have beef with/ hold a grudge against today??

This took me SO long but it’s finally ready

There’s so many fictional dogs I just adore so I drew them all at a pride party! What’s crazy is that I have another 12 dogs lined up for another drawing like this! Stay tuned for that!

How many dogs do you recognize? (Also, the flags each dog has are just my headcanons, please don’t attack me)

"...Why are you staring at Professor Anaxa, Thayer?" Hyacine asked, tilting her head at the historian gazing at the scholar from across the grove.

Thayer hummed in response, resting their chin on their hand. "Have you ever noticed how disproportionately long Anaxagoras' legs are?" Thayer's hands measured out the man's height from a distance, squinting. "They're like, twice the length of his torso."

Hyacine squinted at her professor, now noticing the man's height was contained mostly in his slender legs. "...Huh. I never noticed."

...Her professor that was now walking towards them.

Hyacine quickly whistled, acting as if nothing was amiss, while Thayer stared up at the man with a cheery attitude.

"Would either of you care to explain why you've been staring at me for the past 5 minutes?" Anaxa folded his arms, fixing them both with a pointed stare.

"We-" Hyacine started, only to be interrupted by a cheery Thayer.

"Hey, Anaxagoras, do you know why your legs are so damn long?"

The Sage of the Nousporists stared at them for a long, deathly silent moment. Even the few scholars that had been putting around the two stopped in their tracks, all honed in on possibly the stupidest question possible.

Anaxa pinched the bridge of his nose. "Remind me why I deal with you again?"

"Because I like discussing with and learning from you?" Thayer supplied breezily.

Anaxagoras sighed, holding the growing pulse in his head with one hand as he turned away from them. "I wonder if it's worth it."

"I'm not wrong!" came Thayer's indignant response as he walked away.
