I said it could be the student's fault as well but when it comes to it fundamentally, you are the one paying for their service, and it's up to them to teach you. The schools not paying you you're paying them, if one oerson failed and you did their best that's fine, but having everyone fail means you are at fault and your curriculum set up. Do some students slack off? Sure, but you should still try to help as a teacher, you're the one being paid not them. Burden is on you. I hate talking about specific scenarios like yours, because if I did I have to demolish the school system as a whole and rebuild it. Teachers and schools care mostly about their paycheck and little else. Indoctrination is a staple in every classroom, and on top of it all you're paying for all of this. Has to be the scam of the century. School is the only business I know where you pay somebody to be the boss of you, where it is in fact the other way in real life.

I don't think that making split-second judgments about professors based on seconds-long edited clips taken in a non-teaching environment makes any sense to do.

yeh that's true, usually ones quick to retaliate have ego on their side. it means they're less likely to actually listen to a student - and more likely to expect respect instead of focusing on earning it. i hated that attitude from teachers when i was a kid, and in part, it was one of the reasons i ended up quitting studying to be a teacher; the egos were so big there was little room left for those who actually prioritized students' learning. i tutor a few subjects privately now instead, so i don't have to deal with over-sized children with big egos... no wait that's insulting to children, kids are generally displaying ego that's age-appropriate. hm.. anyway. i don't deal with them (woot) and if i get negative criticism from a student, my first reaction isn't to nitpick their grammar coz that would make me look like a fool. I'd immediately be thinking, "huh, why'd they say that? i don't like hearing it, but is it possibly true? Maybe i need to pay more attention to this area and see if there's something i can work on." who knows maybe in this area having low self-esteem is useful.

It doesn't help anyone when class sizes continue to increase, faculty are required to teach more classes than they should while meeting their service and research demands as well in order to mitigate ever decreasing budgets, but the joy of a good classroom experience is impossible if only 1-2 participants truly prepare for each class meeting. Careful reading and note-taking needs to occur not only of assigned texts and articles but of material that has not been assigned.

I understand your point and agree somewhat, but if the teacher made that many people unhappy, I want to know why. I've seen negative ratings though where students admit the professor is nice but that they just aren't effective at teaching.

In my experience, I was not very impressed with a lot of my college professors. I now work as an elementary school teacher, and I am surrounded daily by professionals who work extremely hard to teach in a way that every student can understand and be challenged. In college I have found that so many classes are just reading powerpoints aloud and explaining assignment parameters. That wouldn't engage anybody. I understand that college students are adults and may not need all of the stimulation that primary students would need...but I still feel like with how much a college education costs that professors in general should be putting more time and energy into teaching their students in an engaging way, examining themselves and their teaching practices, etc.

There are ways to do rhetorical analysis/ other analysis to find the bad ones. For ex. this one math teacher had very low reviews at first glance. But there were reasons to for me to think that the rev. weren't corr. On the other hand, there is this csc teacher who also had bad reviews and I knew he was likely going to decide to teach very poorly, but I still took him b/c he was the only class still open. Turned out I was correct. The math teacher turned out to be one who really loves what she does and teaches well. (The main thing in this was probably that most students don't come from rigorous schools- especially students in trig. math and so they struggle along with trying to adapt to college) The csc teacher, on the other hand, constantly berates us, creates a sick learning environment, strictly makes sure we do only his style of prog.- down to spaces, intimidates us, etc. etc. etc. So my point is that for the worst profs. the reviews are still very useful if you decide to think about them critically.

I had a few teachers like that in highschool. I also had the inverse of a a teacher who was great at teaching the problem is you wish you could find them in a dark alley because they are devoid of any humanity. The teacher would refuse to let people leave the class for a bathroom then one time a guy pissed himself after being refused. The teacher just said "welp now you know".

[@The_D0C70R]

I have a lot of those types of teachers. They’re nice and you can get along with them, they just can’t explain things clearly and assign homework excessively.

I had a professor who was strict in grading I turned in an assignment of 989 words and he gave me a zero since he asked for 1000 words. Since then I made sure everything I did was just how he wanted it.

[@Elena-xz7wj]

rate my professor saved my college career. i’ve found that the reviews are pretty accurate. if the majority of reviews say a professor is bad, the professor is probably bad at their job.

[@MayanAztec13]

I seriously wish all professors read their reviews. Most reviews are indeed bland or dont offer any real points other than "he/she sucks". But from the ones that are in depth they might learn to better themselves

[@lunafringe10]

if the reviews are fair and honest, yes, you can learn something,

[@freaking_out]

You can tell which teachers are actually humble and enjoy teaching and which ones have an ego and only like teaching because of the power it gives them. That last guy seems awesome would definitely want him as a professor.

[@Ringele5574]

Funny. Some of these, most really, professors may be great in the field in which they teach, but can't accept the fact that they are poor teachers. Knowing the curriculum is not the same as being able to transfer that knowledge in such a way as the student will understand.

[@Thompson_sports_med_official]

A good professor can make a very tough class bearable. I disliked physics and it was probably the toughest class I took but got an A because the professor was always trying to help. I’m an athletic training major and took a bio class with a bad professor and only got a B because I had to learn everything on my own. A professor makes a huge difference.

[@danathomas3479]

"in engineering, you have to do engineering to get engineering" LMAOOO

[@FairyFellersMasterStroke]

As a teacher, I can say this; a lot of university professors teach because they have to. Most of them have never taken a class in teaching methods. Having the knowledge is not enough. They take themselves too seriously and don't care about their students. If you got into teaching because you like teaching, you look at things differently. You will be able to realise your mistakes and work to correct them. There is nothing better than seeing a look in your students' eye when they overcome a difficulty you worked at together, and you see them happy. This is what you work for.

Every Professor: Where are my chill peppers?

[@ConnecticutEmporium]

What's really sad is that teachers present themselves as the wisest and most knowledgeable people in society. If ANYONE ever says anything negative about me, even if I don't immediately see their side, I try to consider why they may have said that. If I can use this information to fix an issue in the way that I work or communicate with others then this negative feedback becomes gold to me. That is my mindset. EVERY teacher in this video, when confronted with something negative said about them immediately has one of two reactions. Either they will disagree immediately or look for a reason to discredit the "clearly malicious" student who didn't love their teaching style. Not a single teacher in the video paused for even a moment to reflect on what they could improve upon in the future because they had already decided that they were right and nobody's opinion mattered. What I just described is the mindset of the college professors in this video; unfortunately, that description also very accurately depicts the mindset of a just about every corrupt dictator in history.
