Already in pressure

Well, I'm back in college for my final subject.
And already I feel like I'm doomed.
Partly because the teacher has failed me twice before in the subject I'm doing, and it was clear he wasn't to see me again for a third time.
Last night was our first lesson, we were working in groups.
(Doing all the stuff I have done before in the past)
While I could complain about some of the students I had to work with.
I kinda feel more upset with the teacher and how he had treated us.
I knew how tough he is as a marker so I spend a lot of the night trying my best to help with the slides.
And sadly had to skip out on the dinner brake to get everything done, it's either eat and possibly fail, or miss out and try to pass.
During the presentations, he was very nasty to one student, who I felt very sorry for, as I could see that they were trying there best.
(I even spoke to them at the end of the lesson as he looked a little down, My mum said to never bother with others, but I can't help it.)
And the teacher yelled at me for spelling errors, even though it was another student who wrote the slide. (They offered to help me since I was having a little bit of trouble with what I wanted to say)
And the teacher got picky about me calling him Sir, and said that I should call him by his proper name.
I suppose I could call him "Octopus Cow" since he told us that what his name translate to in some other language. (don't know which sorry)
But isn't saying Sir polite?
(To be honest, I rather call him Sir then his proper name, plus it's a habit I picked up since School when it was very rude to not say Sir, Miss and such)
In the end the teacher is not impress with what we had presented.
And I felt like I have failed the subject already.
I know the Teacher's views are very different to mine.
He has said that he is "Hard but Fair", and that if we have a problem we should talk to him. But I feel extremely nervous around him.
Next lesson, I'm debating whether to bring along a tape recorder or a video camera to record the lesson.
Mostly so that I can review some of the useful information he does supply from time to time. (I can't believe I just said that)
At the moment all I can do is try my best, and search for a game to play for my first assignment.
But as I noted in the past, if I fail this subject again, I will not get my Animation Degree.
(And my parents will be yelling at me for failing and wasting there money)

He teaches computer games.
(I didn't put it down the last 2 times, because my parents didn't feel like I would need it)
Also, there are a lot of profs out there that have a very narrow view of what is or is not good art/animation. You might have to just live with it and create something you know the prof will like. One of my art profs was big into the human form. Draw something non-human (such as a dragon) and it's nearly an automatic fail.

What kind of assignments are landing you in hot water?
It has to be a game that was released in the past 6 months, so I'll have to borrow something.
The 2nd (and 50%) of the grade, you have to design and build a level, and produce a 2000 word doc explaining, what it's all about, the enemies, weapons and pickups, and a whole bunch of other technical stuff which is confusing to me. X_X
Perhaps it would be good if you told him that he is not helping at all.
