I just took my microbiology final, and looking back, I don't think I've had a professor I despised more than this one. He was one of those types that always tells you the textbook is wrong and he is right, even though he's a non-tenure track lecturer that has done no original research. Just very arrogant and narcissistic, and honestly ruined what could have been an interesting class for me. (not an LSU prof)

Anyway's I digress: what are some stories y'all have about profs you absolutely despised?

Women’s Studies prof, she had an inch long pinky nail and ranted about the patriarchy needing to be demolished. I was a football player so she automatically hated me but I passed with an A in that class by giving her what she wanted.

Lol. Be weary of these types. Textbooks go through enormous peer review. You “prof” not so much.

I didn't hate the guy, but I had a chemistry professor whose Hungarian accent was so thick that lectures were nearly impossible to follow. I hated that class.

I only recall one prof that I didn’t respect. He was a chemistry professor who co-taught a literature and film class with an English prof. Why he ventured into the subject matter I will never know. He was a right wing a-hole who spent at least an hour railing against the cheap Marxism of Grapes of Wrath. I was like, “Did you read the book? Didn’t you know?”

My absolute favorite professor I had at LSU was a classical studies teacher named Dr Schierling (sp). He died of cancer in the late 90s but I took all of his classes as electives because I liked him so much.

Dude always looked disheveled like he grabbed some wrinkled arse pants and a shirt out of the dirty clothes but he was an awesome guy and teacher. He might be my favorite teacher I've ever had in my life. Rip Dr S

I don't know her name, but she was a fricking English teacher, I think the second English I took. I had a class in Tureau and this class was in Allen or somewhere in the quad and they were back to back and I had to get on the lift, then get to the elevator.

She hated for people to arrive late. For some reason I still remember it was an industrial engineering class and he would always go over the time.. People would have their shite in hand so on the first day I was a few minutes late. But then I figured out how to get there right on time most of the time. After about the 3rd time going in a few minutes late she started bitching, I turned around and left.. Then went drop her class.

I just remember her because she was over the top. She would give these assignments and every class pick someone to read what they wrote and if someone didn't do it she would lay into them. She grilled the shite out of this girl and I was just thinking "just don't give her points you don't have to be a bitch".

Can anyone think of an English teacher whose husband also taught at LSU? If so then it might be her but this woman sucked arse.

A philosophy class I had take in the summer at 8AM. The professor had a weird accent and would get offended if you asked him to repeat what he just said. But mainly because he was constantly ranting and raving about how Bush "stole" the election (this was 2002) and orchestrated 9/11 and that the world would ending in 20 years because of global warming.

Governmental and Not-for-Profit Accounting professor at LSU. She was a total bitch and the worst professor I’ve ever encountered.

Despise...none that I remember.

I felt sorry for one that was trying to tell a class full of teachers how to manage challenging students. I asked her when was the last time she taught a class outside of the university. She replied “I once taught at a camp in 1973.” The class went apeshit as I sat back and watched my handy work. She didn’t return after that. Needless to say, she didn’t manage this challenging student very well.

All in all, however, my experience with my professor’s was quite positive.

I don't remember names, but the nerd who taught AIS and the coonass broad who taught managerial accounting were awful people.

Never despised any of my profs.

There were certainly a number of them that I felt were out of their depth and wholly incapable of instruction, but I more felt sorry for them than despised them.
