Replying to NS guide to asshole professor(s)
Some people are just not teacher material
I'm coming to the end of my college days so this isn't the freshman complain thread.
Since I'm at an Jesuit institution, my core classes included FOUR religion classes. In the past I learned that in order to pass religion courses you need to adopt and regurgitate the teachers faith and believes. Jesus Christ this Catholics that, fucking Methodist blah blah blah
My Islam 365 professor is a wannabe Islamic convert scholar. this UC Berkley Bro is about 2 years older than most of the class, he studied islam in Yeman chewing quot and discussing God knows what with this currently Al-Qaeda controlled province.
The class is unlike any other Socratic method classroom I've encountered.
Not only will i regurgitate what the readings said on cold calls, I will go out of my way to move class discussions, answer him when it's awkwardly silent, and even go to his office hours to shoot the shit.
the class is participation based (not just attendance) and a final.
The dude gives me a D in participation, and i feel it is because i'm one of the 5 non-muslim kids in the class
So despite all my efforts I do not know how to retaliate beyond ratemyprofessor.com and registrars office
NS what do you do with an asshole professor like this? splash him with lsd induce permatrip ?
