Rupnik was nuts

Spent at least ten minutes of every class scrambling around saying "we don't have enough time in this class"

De Souza.
Gabby De Souza? I had him his first year or so around 2000 for Digital II and Digital lab. I didn't think he was too bad.

Aravena (RIP) was the worst. Had him for circuits I obviously, but then he was so terrible for Linear Systems.

For Chem E it was Griffin. He was just an a-hole for no good reason.

I liked Wetzel as a person, but I couldn't stand his teaching style.

Sheldon Lotten.

He taught some spanish class. He wouldn't you get participation points unless you could answer in spanish. I didn't have many points needless to say.

DeSouza forgot to come to our final showed up like 2 hours late all red in the face in shorts and a t shirt. Said he forgot and go a speeding ticket rushing to get there. Told us we could take whatever grade we had in the class if we wanted. Last I saw of him. Class wasn't awful, but he was a basket case.

Worst...probably Raman for ME materials selection. Feel bad saying it since I'd heard he passed away, but he truly was awful. He'd just get up and ramble. No structure to a lecture. Then he'd test you on stuff he never talked about or anything. Such a frustrating class.

Honorable mention Rupnick (physics), Kirk (physics), and Sheehan (geography)

Kirk for Physics 1100 was pretty worthless. I stopped going to lectures entirely. The last one I went to, there were like 12 people in class, and it was one of the stadium lectures.

But we could always count on him starting at exactly 1100. You could set your watch to that dude.

Mark Verret. Great guy, awful teacher. Had a full-time career outside of teaching so I was never really sure why he was even bothering with being a professor anyway.

One problem you have is that most colleges and universities don't hire professors based on their skill at teaching. I'm not sure I'd even want to teach today.

When I was teaching college classes (adjunct instructor, adjunct professor), I enjoyed the teaching aspects of the job. I was always #1 or 2 in student evaluations of instructors and professors. I gave difficult tests, but I felt it was my job to be sure that those who regularly attended class knew and understood the material.

More so today, universities do not place effective teaching skills at the top of their qualifications for instructors and professors.

It's called research money. They couldn't care less about the quality of teaching that those professors have.

i love how de souza was the one that killed people's 4.0's in senior design, no matter how well you did in senior design, de souza would not give an A, and the grading criteria was never followed, completely random grade no matter how you did
