Least favorite Professor

I took Poli Sci 310 back in the Spring of 1995...13 years ago, before posting her last name, I checked the Poli Sci website to verify she was no longer there. I am relatively sure she was a Political Science professor due to the subject matter and the depth in which we covered the subject. The class was good, her attitude towards the male students in the class and her blatant political lean that was forced on us is what offended me.

When did you have him? I had a friend who had him the semester after me, and he told that same God/Adam story and a religious person got really upset and called him out, was reciting Bible verses, etc.

Fall '07. We had a girl FLIP when he said that story. Watching people get angry, get up and leave was hilarious though. Class size decreased quickly and most of those people never showed up again.

I had a speech instructor at MCC that was the living epitome of Dr. Smith for Lost in Space. ICKY
I also had an Anal retentive hag for Chem 177 in 1989.

Does anyone remember Joel Moses? He would get this spit build up on his lip. It was disgusting.

He would top my list by a long shot. He simply doesn't get it. Bad people skills and terrible organization. Half the time he would show up to class (late) and seem to not even know what he had in mind for the day. Year after year he gets pounded in the teacher evals and still holds a job. I don't get it.

I also had a digital design class (back when I thought I was smart enough to be a computer engineer) with a professor who was impossible to understand when he spoke. I do not remember the guys name, but he was foreign and I could understand about every 8th word. That was about the time I decided to head over to a business major.

Man, I'm getting old. I had Dick Poist 11-12 years ago for TransLog (do they still require that class in the business school?)

If I knew what that was I could tell you

Quirmbach was terrible. He took attendance in a 150 person lecture hall. Ridiculous.

Transportation/Logistics. Probably the most worthless class I took.

I'm guessing that would fall under LSCM which is required.

This would have been back in the early 70's. Don't remember his first name...but my Finance professor was a Dr. Hoover. Spoke in an absolute monotone.....much like Ben Stein's character in Ferris Bueller.....and that was teaching finance, which is not exactly exciting anyway. Plus, we had to do our assignments in ink. And, at times he would ask us to turn in all of our worksheets....showing how we solved the problems. It was the most frustrating class experience of my life.
