The worst professor I had was Robin McCarley. Extremely cool guy though. He seemed super intelligent, but was not really interested in teaching. Just cared about his research.

Did not attend LSU but I see that unintelligible professors seem to be a common occurrence on every campus.

I don't remember her name but I had a Ukrainian professor for some 1000 level Economics class.
In her power point slide "Economics" was always spelled "Econics." In one slide the "Wealth of Nations" was called the "Wife of Notions."
She was terrible at English, and a bitch to boot. Kinda hot though.

I cant remember her name but she was French with black hair and taught Economics in the late 90s/early 2000s. She sucked.

Soileau when I switched to accounting was pretty bad as well

Paige Davis is a M A S S I V E count. I switched into ME after my sophomore year, so I had to go back and take her intro to CM class with a bunch of freshman. I didn’t spend much time on it and it pissed her off. She thought that bullshite should get my time over fluids and other junior level ME classes.

There was this old persnickty, overly proper gentleman who taught Latin. I cannot recall his name, but he would often brag that he was on Jeopardy and had actual won Wheel of Fortune.
Got into the biggest argument with him over a test once. He gave a test with 10 questions. Instructions said to pick and answer three questions. Well, I did not read instructions, rather jumped into the test.
I got everything correct except for number 2 and 3. Well, "Mr. Rotam Fortuna Vitorem" decided to be smart and grade the first 3 questions only...thus failing me. Despite my common sense argument that I knew the material he just decided to be an arse.
Anyway, yes...I didn't read the directions....but he was still an "asinus"

I recognize the last name. I also remember someone else coming and teaching part of the class too.

Was this the finance teacher that was running a hedge fund. If so, I hated that dude. He sent his GA to give out the syllabus on first day, then he showed up 1 day 2 weeks later and expected us to take a test on that day. It was the first time anyone in the class had even seen his face.
I believe so. I dropped his class and took it the next semester from the guy from New Orleans that owned a pizza parlor.

Anyone remember Kelle for a 2000 or 3000 level ISDS class? All I remember was him saying we can find things on "the moodle" and we had a project where we had to find an optimal reorder point or something so our simulated business never ran out of inventory? The other was the Cost accounting professor who didn't give a test for the entire semester and was asked to leave due to health reasons with 5 weeks left to go. Spring 2011. I needed the class to graduate and the replacement teacher was an asian lady who ended up giving us all As.
Had both of those classes. The accounting prof was Andrew Christie. I remember when Sam Tiras came to watch class one day and Christie had a straight up meltdown and cancelled class. That was probably the last class he taught before being replaced.

Charlie was a arrogant instructor who sucked at providing real world examples. Maybe he got better in your time. But that dude gave me the only F in my life. Needless to say, Charlie was the outlier he always envisioned himself but that dude was a shite head.
The woman who teaches SAS coding just doesn't fricking care. I forget her name, but she would write personal letters on each of your tests that you were lucky to get a C on how lazy you were when we literally spent more time on these assignments than anything i did at LSU. She was a social plague. A real firewall for kindness.
Chris Blakely in the Philosophy department always gets a special frick you from me. You had to teach yourself that logical calculus progression stuff. And after a while of drilling it, you would just start to make sense of it. So after you do all that and maintain an A in his class, he makes you write a paper. Subjective formatting requirements on the final paper, and if he doesn't like the format of your arguments then he can zero your final grade and have ultimate control of your GPA average.
That day i learned that philosophers are really just the mental pedos of the "higher" ed system. dude was a control freak nut who went full fascist in a class room setting.

Do grad students who can't speak English count?

Anyone ever have Hilton for a History class? I remember it being a pretty normal class, each test was MC, a few fill in the blanks and an essay or two.
Fast forward to the final exam. I walk in to talk to the TA a few hours before the test. I see him and he's in a panic. "I don't know what he was thinking, it is 200 question...FILL IN THE BLANK". We had zero warning. I had more than most, but clearly there wasn't enough time to prepare for something of this nature. I remember during the test, people were leaving entire pages blank. The same TA put at least 30 bonus points up on the board during the exam...just to try and help as much as he could. Damn, my blood is boiling again over this shite!

I took a Health class in a basement of Huey Long Pool complex---the instructor's main theme was that sunglasses cause cancer. There was no winning that argument. It was on the final. You bet I wrote about how cancerous sunglasses are. Had to have that A.

On the basis of just being a bad professor, definitely Rupnik in 2101. I don’t remember her much because we literally decided to never go to her lectures, self taught from textbook, only showing up for quizzes/exams Had an older man for 2102(wish I could remember his name) who reminded me of George Carlin for some reason. Probably one of the better classes for learning useful stuff in college.
Can anyone remember the count that taught statics who had a bad reputation and was difficult? Remember more people bitcing about her than anyone else, and after two lectures I said frick that and dropped. The next semester was a pakastani guy with a bad accent but came out with an A.
LSU definitely had some characters. This thread made me remember the Biology professor, siebenaller, who always talked about rat-tails

I was such a shitty student it would be unfair of me to criticize any teachers I had.

I took WGS (Woman's and Gender Studies) 2500 one year when I needed an easy class for general electives.
Kathleen Bratton was the teacher. You basically just had to answer questions in a pro feminine means and "she" gave you an A. I was one of 3 males in the entire class. We all knew what we where there for.. that easy A.
