Teachers/Professors/Masters

We've seen it all, right?

I had one professor spend an entire lecture complaining about how she couldn't stick with breastfeeding her kids because it hurt her nipples too much. tmi, imo...

I also had one professor who always told us not to miss class but she ended up not showing up to 75% of her own classes to lecture.

Currently I have this insane professor who makes us do 50 essays every two weeks. (Fortunately, I like the subject)

Discuss your bad/good Teachers/Professors/Masters.

What subject is this?

My Japanese teacher once told us a story about her past boyfriend and how he took a bullet to the head and lived. (It's a lot sadder than it sounds, but it'll become tl;dr if I post the whole thing.)

Social Science - Intro to the Study of Society

My Art Appreciation professor from first year was something else. He was very eccentric but knew how to teach very well. For our final exam that year, all we had to do is show up for class, sign in and leave. I got an A.

Geez I have so much inside information about that entire Art department and my college in general, it makes me cringe just knowing everything.

My IST110 professor (Information Sciences and Technology / Class: Intro to Information, People, and Technology) thought it was an excellent idea to lecture the entire semester only accompanied by a 100+ powerpoint slide consisting entirely of BLACK COMIC SANS ON A WHITE, BLANK BACKGROUND.

I have never been so utterly bored in my entire life, especially when my other professors do a wayyy better job of teaching. Thank god today was the last day of class

My physics teacher was explaining torque (torque = force * distance) and then began telling a story about how when he was young he saw a doorknob in the middle of a door on some fancy person's house or some fancy building, I forget. He didn't know what it meant at the time other than "wow, what a cool door," but as he grew up, he learned that rich people "exert more force on the world." Rich people have doorknobs attacked way over by the hinges. If you observe most of the school doors, they have a push bar instead of a doorknob, so that depending on rich you are, you can choose where on the door to push. Being a teacher, he said he pushed at the far end of the door and he said to take note of where other students pushed on the door.

I did terrible in his class but he was pretty cool.

One of my old history professors was talking about how he nearly had sex with some Nobel Prize winner's wife.

Also, another professor was talking about his 7 ex wives and his various sexual exploits.

One of my Science teachers frequently took the lesson plan off the rails and instead talked about the time he accidentally grew lice on his pubes through accidental hair transfer during an experiment with some mice.

Yeah.

My English Teacher sometimes tell a story when he's teaching and he just forgot when to stop.

My history teacher spends 30-40 minutes of the 60-minute period talking about extra stuff not in the book that's really interesting. She also doesn't tell any of her less advanced classes the information we get. The funny thing is, even with the extra stuff, we're always at the same place as the other classes.
