What I learned today
14 years ago
General
Im going to start a new series today. Ill update it every so often.
This is about one of my professors. He is borderline crazy, not insane, crazy. He is a smart guy overall... but he doesnt have a doctorate but likes to pretend he does. An average day of class consists of him ranting about random things till he realizes class is almost over and crams a lesson in real fast. This is all 100% him im not adding anything.
Class starts:
First he starts talking about his belief system. No one will stop him cause he is head of the art department here. (technically he was elected when the last one quit and has kept it ever since)
Then he starts to talk about monotheism. Frankly I think he is jealous he isnt in the philosophy or religion classes so he just trys to make us his Guinea pigs.
Then he leaks over and starts talking about Jewish beliefs and how it differs. He moves on to the trinity and talking about souls.
Keep in mind this is an ART HISTORY class. (By the way everyone who has been near the art department has heard of him and his... talks)
This is the day of the syllabus also and he finally realizes that his slideshow IS in fact on the screen. so he starts talking about it and then talks about the 'language of art'. He also spends a few minutes talking about the book we dont really use and tells us to buy it.
Next, He starts talking about... talking. Dead Serious.
Now its the last 8 minutes of class and he has yet to address more than one slide of the syllabus. Does he finish up the powerpoint? No...
Now he starts talking about Obama and such.
Then we take a 'Buser' (his name) turn and he starts talking about plaid poodles. I wish I could make this stuff up.
So its the last minute of class and he gets back to the sylabus and is rushing it.
So its overtime and we are waiting to escape and he suddenly goes into a talk about how it he likes black ops and plays it. then he starts explaining that although he uses a laptop in class we are not allowed and we can try and report him for hipocrasy if we want.
Then he finally finishes by telling us all about how he wasted his whole summer on Fallout 3.
We escape finally.
(ironically I took this class cause someone else other than him was going to teach it but she quit)

Pity really. I love art history.
Fortunately I never had any really terrible profs, but my mate had a few. At least you'll have some stories to share!
Also, I wouldn't normally condone going to class drunk or high but well, desperate times....
In the future, make sure to check your potential teachers out on http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ It'll make your life easier.
In the meantime, good luck, and you can always unload on me. I can commiserate.
