I realize some teachers are hard to understand but you just have to pay close attention to what is being said.
I never found it to be that much of a problem tbh

It's God awful. 3/4 of my upper level business courses have been taught by foreign professors. They all went to Brown, UPenn, etc but can't properly deliver the information. I mean shite, there's no need to study abroad at LSU. Every ethnicity is represented down the halls of the BEC
Give me B Andrews (LSU & Tulane grad) all day every day.

Suck it up like an adult and stop complaining on a message board.

I had a German calculus professor and almost dropped the class right away. I decided to stay in until the first test.
He ended up being awesome. He would let us retake every test with different numbers and throw out the first one if we did better. He also re-opened all the online homework at the end of the semester so we could get credit for any that we missed.

My senior year in EE back in 59 I had an Indian who spoke with very thick dialect. Solid state electronics was a pretty new subject at the time. Not a happy experience.

I once had to drop an accounting class because the dude had the heaviest Jamaican accent I've ever experienced.
I had no clue what that guy was saying at any point in the class. He was speaking English but not in a manner which I could understand. It was weird.

I only had the problem my first semester, but that's because my major was not something you would have foreign people teaching.

The Indian accent, while annoying, can still be understood if you REALLY listen (I once had a Management teacher that was impossible to understand if you werent paying attention to every word).
The Chinese accent, on the other hand, is impossible to understand if thick. I once took a Calculus class, and walked out 10 minutes into the first day and dropped the class. Calc is hard enough if you CAN understand the professor. If you can't, forget it.

they hate that they have to teach as much as you hate their class

I had this problem way back in 1998. Chinese Math professor and could not understand a word he said.

LSU doesn't really care about the students really. I dropped that class 3 times until I could get a teacher I could remotely understand.

sorry, but LSU can't just go hire teachers to teach classes based on their ability to speak English to a degree that college students dont have to try a little to understand them.
Secondly, it's not LSU's fault that there are more foreign grad students in specific areas and departments. Maybe some native English speakers should go for advanced degrees in economics and it would be a smaller problem.

Little bit off topic, but as far as TA's go, professors save several thousand dollars a semester when they put an international student on TA versus RA (research assistant). Hence why most of your TA's are international students and most of the domestic students are on RA. It has something to do with fees the school is assessed for the international students.

I would choose my classes by the most American-sounding instructor's name. Thought I was safe with Edgar Reyes...wrong. Barely made it through calculus because of his accent.

my first Finance class at LSU we had a guy not one person in the class could understand and no one knew where his tests came from.....Everyone pretty much bombed every test, thanks to a curve I got a B in there, but learned absolutely nothing
