She overdid it. Not believable.

@@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530 That's kinda the point. It's not her fault you don't have a sense of humor

[@banishedfromthedwarfplanet530]

Medha Narayan-- I have a great sense of humor. That's how I'm able to recognize unfunny overacting by a hack when I see it. Maybe you ought to look into getting a sense of humor yourself.

Nah. She is open minded as hell! Obnoxious, but she ain’t shutting nobody down. And you can tell she prepped and that she enjoys the subject. I’d be in the front row.

Wow... Y'all need a hobby from just being mean on KZbin... She legit is trying to be encouraging, most teachers arent

[@DigitalAndInnovation]

It's true- but sometimes the style of teaching is just hard to go along with. I can specifically think of one teacher I had freshman year at Emerson who was very hard to interact with and do assignments for- yet she was a very good teacher. I can also think of about anyone in between- including self absorbed jerks like William Orem at Emerson who wanted to be called "professor" even though he did not earn the title (literally a vetting process). Everyone has their issues- but there is a point where intent is less retentive and it comes down to the ability to connect and not make others feel uncomfortable.
