Oh Yeah Bill Email me (off list) and I'll give you more details about this incident and a couple of
classes that went out of control before it. So far 80% of the class of 120 signed a petition to have
this teacher sacked, his webpage was ordered shutdown by the Administration. Every 3 hour class he
gives a coffee break after the 1st hour and of 120 students 4 students return (myself being one of
the 4...only because I miss most of Rush Hour traffic by hanging around). This moron has an attitude
problem that came out day one. 1st class he announced that he would NOT be giving out a Course
Outline (because) he didn't have the time to stand in a line-up and use a Xerox to make 120 copies.
Then he says (do NOT come to his lectures without the $100. textbook)...next class he announces he
decided he wasn't going to use the Textbook (everyone just bought...grrrr). Class 3 a student made a
Paper Airplane and it was sent flying around the room by each student it landed near. Several
students followed with their own Paper Airplanes and I guess we had about 10 planes in the air at
any one moment...the Professor totally ignored it all and kept talking about how much he and his
wife loved the sales at Wal-Mart and he went on and on about about how hard it was trying to
convince people that music by the "Bare Naked Ladies" was the BEST music ever made....thus this
music group used for the Assignment.
This is a Business Admin. Degree program (most of the students having already been working in
Accounting/Management/I.T.) and every teacher acts correctly and as you'd expect...except this guy
is on another planet.
