Bad Profs

I hate that I've spent copious amounts of money on a professor who I don't feel like is doing an effective job at their job.

Specifically, I'm sitting in a class right now and my prof loves and I mean really loves to avoid answering questions.  His favourite tactic is to answer a question with whatever information is floating around in his head.  Usually, he just rephrases something he's already talked about but doesn't actually answer the question.  Furthering the idea that he loves his own information, we have a lot of table discussions.  These discussions are great, until he brings us back to the whole class, tells us his opinion and moves on.  Isn't the point of discussing at the table then whole group is to get the ideas of of everyone else.. not the prof's idea repeated.  I won't even get started about how he quiets us.. think military command.. "I'll wait!"  So rude.. we're pre-service teachers not juvenile delinquents... ugh

I have another prof, for math, who just confuses herself.  I find it kind of humorous because its fairly simple primary/junior math and I love math so I usually understand before she jumps into her explanation.  But I feel bad for my classmates.  They ask a legit question and she gets confused.  So these poor kids who are confused just get more confused by her confusion.  But she's a nice lady and is great one on one so her office hours are getting a good amount of use!

Just my two cents.  Thankfully my other 9 profs are AMAZING!!  (ya that's right I'm taking 11 courses right now)
