Mean Reviews: Professor Edition (2015)

You've seen celebrities read mean tweets on the Jimmy Kimmel show. Now watch as Wharton professors read some of their most memorable feedback from course evaluations.

[@ashleyventham8478]

The last one PRICELESS XD

[@pedrodemello3666]

Ol' muppet guy is still rocking it XD

[@newfieldcharlotte324]

Well...idk as someone who is going to PhD and teaching classes I can tell you that a prof should always have a good way of communication. Repeating the same sentence over and over implies the severe lack of language and communication skills and should therefore be resolved. This was genuinely uselful feedback for a teacher, he should have taken the advice instead ....

[@jakeunderland5258]

Newfield Charlotte It’s not the same sentence it’s the same transition. Also, there’s not much to replace it with except maybe conversely, contrarily, to paraphrase, to put it simply, etc but rly the two transitions r enough to convey his message. What matters more is the content of the course.

[@Ty-vj4wg]

Lol, yeah.

[@ezramatheson5695]

It was nothing short of a violation

"...but secretly thinks Ariana Grande is a font in Microsoft Word." Ok, THAT cracked me up!

I would love to have tea with a nice professor after class. How do they not know what tea is??? 😂

[@Brunowsky-vj1le]

Is it a euphemism? Or is it the literal tea? XD

[@diomagio]

Ikr I would love to have "tea" with her too 😏

[@faithlesshound5621]

Culture shock! She did not go to university to be challenged like that.

[@augustbrown9711]

@@Brunowsky-vj1le I’ve never heard of the term “tea” be used like that. Your mindset will reveal what you think it means.

I like a cup of tea.

[@debasishraychawdhuri]

Professor Picard's last response was the best. :P

[@Ty-vj4wg]

These professors are actually funny as fuck in this video. On the other hand, the probably don't act the same way in class.

[@ssap3717]

0:55 Student has a point. Most professors are research junkies have little to no real-world experience in the industry. Theory and practicality are two completely different things.

[@musthavegadgets4440]

yeah but the things they teached you have been learned by people who actually have had experience, you really think in harvard they gon teach you stuff that that dosen't work in reality, engineers and programmers don't graduate and get paid a shit ton of money because they've been taught some theory of how stuff works.

professor Huang probably is tighttt lol

[@BobBlarneystone]

I always suspected that at least some Wharton students were weenies, and now there's proof. Back when, such complaints were aired only to friends at Smoke's or Doc Watson's. (C-'78)

I once had a student say I should win the Victoria Cross... which is a Canadian military honor...

[@BobBlarneystone]

Strictly speaking that's correct, but the award is based upon the British Victoria Cross.

[@faithlesshound5621]

@@BobBlarneystone It's the highest military award for bravery in the face of the enemy. That somewhat overstates the stress of facing a class of students.

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

Professors have no sense of themselves. They just need an audience. I should know. I am married to one. He won't retire either because I have heard all of his stories over the 22+ years that we have been together. He needs a fresh audience every semester.

[@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim]

then why did you marry him

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim Do you think what I mentioned is the only aspect of him? That's a pretty narrow-minded approach.

[@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim]

@@KimberlyLetsGo Lacking a sense of self and always needing to be the center of attention is a hallmark of narcissistic personality disorder - which is pernicious and pervasive across the lifespan and affects all other character traits. Maybe you meant to write that your husband *derives* a sense of self and purpose from his work and enjoys his *students* rather than “needs an audience”?

@@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim Suffer from projection much? Maybe find your own style and stay away from ChatGPT. 🤣

[@stevenpoltorak5186]

not gonna lie there are some terrible teachers, I had the worst comm teacher last semester, he was always angry at everyone, and graded hard on purpose. I think he wanted everyone to fail his class.

something is wrong with these students. I didn't even know wharton was for mbas but the rich stuck up attitude of the students exposed it for what it really is

[@litmusaero2645]

0:55 Ben Shapiro?

[@faithlesshound5621]

Remember, the Wharton school admitted Donald Trump, who can barely read: so the bar for becoming a student there must be fairly low.

[@grantm3332]

Why does professor MacDuffie sound EXACTLY like Ben Shapiro

[@arunrajiitbaero]

in teaching, your intelligence play only 20-30% role. if you want to be a great teacher; embrace your students, love them, motivate them, crack some jokes with them and allow them to feel free and comfortable with you.. by being strict, we are not going to achieve anything in the class..

[@user09832]

If they are strict they might learn a thing or two, being friends with them will do nothing

[@emazaxiix5177]

Face facts. All these poor teacher reviews at these high-priced colleges/universities proves that college has become a joke in America.
