Most of the people who hate him were the MEs who sucked at circuits anyway.


I thought the material was fairly easy. The problem was that my class was either the first or second class to get his exams on the computer and he didn't know what he was doing and didn't apologize for making the answers wrong and the answers to a problem either before or after. He stood by it and just gave us only like a 15pt curve while the other students who got the other exam got a 40pt curve.....

shite messed with my ability to remember if I was doing it right when none of the answers were correct. I tried different methods and wasted a bunch of time.

Never would have happened with a written exam. Also, proved he didn't even check over the test before giving it. The TA even told us that that was all messed up and he had never had to deal with anything like this.

I lived in Johnston hall, no heat or AC. On an extreme cold night, I decided to make a small home built and really totally safe paper burning stove.
The cool RA told the ROTC MP-wannabe RA and that was a strike.
My complaint on the living conditions did help to get us moved to an abandoned frat house.

My last semester of college back in 2013 I had a course with Thomas Dean in the Department of Natual Resources. His class was ridiculous because it revolved around using laptops using this program where you used bubble charts to complete assignments and even tests. Students probably all have laptops now but I never did throughout college. I told him I didn’t have one and he offered using one of his while in class but I said frick that and I just never went to class.

I would coordinate with classmates I was in a group with and work on assignments from my home desktop. Well this prick hated me for not attending class and called me out a couple times in emails.

Last assignment of the year comes and I submit online with 30 min to spare from the due date. Only issue is the program isn’t using central standard time and it shows that I submitted my assignment late. He gives me a 0 and it lowers my grade to a D and I needed a C because it was a major course. Yeah yeah I should’ve done better but it was my last semester and I didn’t give a frick about doing my best at this time as I just wanted to graduate.

Well one of my classmates has the same issue and goes to him and he says yeah there’s a time issue on there and he fixes his grade on the assignment. I go to him and he tells me there’s no issue with the programs time stamp and that perhaps if I went to class all semester my grade wouldn’t be so low.

I ended up having to get with the department registrar to submit a substitute course for that one so I could graduate. I wanted to stomp a mud hole in that fricking guy. frick him. Pretentious a-hole.

I was coaching in college so I had to take whatever early classes I could on my degree audit. So... History of Eastern Religions it was. I have no idea what the professors name was, but the guy had just gotten over a stroke. He sat in a chair with a Bob Barker microphone, and in a monotone voice talked about the differences between Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism. We learned his tests came basically from the reading, but he took attendance so we just brought our books and read as he gave his lectures. He was a such a nice guy, but those lectures were brutal.

Moorthy & Terrie White for me and it’s not close

White is looney tunes. Just take a scroll through her FB page. Bet it’s filled with “impeach trump” BS. Crazy old bat told us she refused to write in red dry erase and would only write in blue until Trump was out of office

^^^ That’s what it’s like trying to read Moorthy’s notes

I agree.

I think he had the same bonus point question on every exam too. (Q: What is the greatest game? A: Baseball)

Rabalais was the king of everyone's favorite multiple choice answer.

D) none of the above

Every question had it so he could cover his arse.

Chenier and Soileau were two of biggest dickheads I have ever had for a professor.


Accounting Information Systems still gives me nightmares to this day. For me, it was the hardest accounting class by a mile. shite was a foreign language. The excel test was hard as frick. I think 85% of our class failed.

I legit think Soileau passed me cuz he felt bad for me lmao. Thanks man

I never had any issues with Chenier. She wasn't bad IMO. Got an A in her class.


There used to be an alcoholic Cost Accounting teacher from New Zealand who retired back in 2013 or something that fricking sucked man. His accent made me want to quit school. Couldn't understand shite. His class was all concepts that he made up. Used to smell like alcohol every class and would break out into random sweats. frick that dudes class. Dumbass bullshite. Wouldn't be shocked if he passed away at this point due to alcoholism.

He used to remind me of Newman from Seinfeld. On test day he and Charles Roussel would come walking in together to give the test trying to look like badasses. I swear one test day they both came in wearing sunglasses.

I took some graduate classes with him. I didn't think he was too bad, but I can understand why someone wouldn't like him.

I graduated in 73.
I know that I'm old but we had a professor that was known for failing students and telling you off in front of the class. His name was Dr. Beeson but we called him the beast. My best professor was a history professor named Dr.Roider.

I had Roider in ‘93 for Western Civ. He was a pretty cool guy.
